    Made this on Saturday night. Absolutely beautiful! Would this work with no fat natural yoghurt?

    I've never tried it with low fat yoghurt but in theory yes it could work just as well; I'd recommend leaving out the lemon juice though as it may cause it to split.

    This was a fantastic quick dish. I cooked for my friend, who was impressed, as my track record of cooking pasta hasn't always been a winner! Instead of tomatoes I used a pasta sauce, which worked really well. I didn't use the pesto either. I used Balsamic glaze instead of the vinegar and served with some crème fresh on the side - a real treat and a compliments the dish. THANK YOU!
