Mouthwatering penne pasta with rich tomato sauce garnished with fresh herbs.

Method

  1. Start by prepping your dried pasta, olive oil, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the scallions in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Add the pesto and let it caramelized, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
  4. Fold in the scallions and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
  5. Add the vegetable stock and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a spoonful of yogurt right before serving.
  7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
