Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) Bowtie pasta (Farfalle)
  • 1 tsp (6g) Salt
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup (50g) Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves (15g) Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Fresh lemon juice

  • 1/4 cup (15g) Fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • 1 cup (150g) Cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
  2. Add the bowtie pasta and cook until al dente (usually 1 minute less than the package directions).
  3. Drain the pasta in a colander and immediately rinse with cold water until the pasta is completely chilled to the touch.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth.
  5. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  6. Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until the dressing is thick and creamy.
  7. Transfer the chilled pasta to the large mixing bowl.
  8. Pour the creamy dressing over the pasta and toss gently until every bow is coated.
  9. Fold in the diced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the garlic to infuse.
