No Cream-No Cry Penne alla Vodka

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

2. 2

   Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions, about 9 minutes; drain.

3. 3

   While the pasta is cooking, bring the marinara sauce and crushed red pepper to a simmer in a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat.

4. 4

   Cook the sauce, stirring it occasionally with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until it is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove the saute pan from the heat.

6. 6

   Stir about 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce into the yogurt until smooth (this tempers it and prevents the yogurt from curdling).

7. 7

   Then whisk the yogurt mixture back into the marinara sauce.

8. 8

   In a large serving bowl, toss the sauce with the drained penne and the basil.

9. 9

   Season with salt and pepper to taste.
