8 oz Whole wheat linguine1 1/2 cups low-fat marinara sauce 4 oz bottle fire-roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips (about 3/4 cups)1/4 cup 2% greek yogurt, like fage total1 cup chopped fresh basil1 to 1 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce6 tbsp grated parmigiano-reggiano cheesesalt and pepper
Directions
1. Cook pasta in according to directions.
2. Bring marinara and sliced peppers to a simmer in a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
3. Put yogurt in a small bowl and stir about 1/2 cup sauce into the yogurt until smooth (this tempers it and prevents the yogurt from curdling). Then whisk the yogurt mixture into the marinara sauce. Keep the sauce off the heat, and cover the pan to keep the sauce warm.
4. Drain the linguine then slide it into a large serving bowl, add the sauce, basil, and hot pepper sauce. Toss gently until the linguine is evenly coated with the sauce. Season with salt and peepper to taste. Sprinkle the cheese on top and serve.
