How to Make Balkan Spaghetti
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- While the spaghetti cooks, prepare the sauce. In a small pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt. Mix well to combine.
- Drain the cooked spaghetti and return it to the still-hot pot. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and toss with two forks until every strand is coated.
- Pour the yogurt sauce over the spaghetti and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately and garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
