Ingredients

▢ 12 ounces spaghetti
▢ 4 ounces Greek feta in brine (not the pre-crumbled stuff)
▢ 2 tablespoons good-quality extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to garnish
▢ 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, whole or low-fat
▢ Zest of 1 lemon
▢ 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
▢ 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped, plus a little more to garnish
▢ 1 tablespoon fresh basil, torn (optional)
▢ Salt and fresh pepper

Instructions

Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce: Hand crumble the feta into small pieces. Combine in a large bowl with the yogurt, lemon zest, olive oil, dill, and basil (if using).
TIP: If you want the creamiest possible sauce, blitz the olive oil, yogurt, and feta together in a food processor or blender. Then fold in the zest and herbs.
Add the very hot, drained pasta to the sauce and stir vigorously until combined. If the sauce seems a bit dry, add a tablespoon or two of pasta water. Taste for seasoning.
Divide the pasta between two plates. Top with the grape tomatoes and a bit of reserved dill or basil. Serve hot.

Notes

This feta pasta sauce uses Greek yogurt to achieve its uniquely creamy texture without cream. Don't be put off by the idea of the yogurt. The result is tangy and satisfying.
