  my partner does'nt like penne, he only likes tagliatelle or spaghetti, so I used this instead and when I added the veg to the pasta, I added no fat greek yoghurt loosened with a little olive oil and lemon juice with a clove of crushed garlic mixed in. the pasta pan was left on the heat of the hob after it was turned off. this was enough to heat the yoghurt through Delicious.

  This is delicious and very easy to make. You don't need the kebabs, just put the chunks of marinaded chicken and some cherry tomatoes in the roasting tin.
