instructions
    1

    Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8 to 10 minutes.

    2

    While the pasta cooks, peel and finely chop the onion.

    3

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown and softened.

    4

    Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the rest.

    5

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sautéed onions, and mix well.

    6

    Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the yogurt, adding reserved pasta water as needed to achieve your desired creaminess.

    7

    Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    8

    Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the dish and stir in plenty of fresh herbs for added flavor.

    9

    Serve warm, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
