In this refreshing dish, the hot pasta will warm up the sauce sufficiently. Be careful not to overheat leftovers. You will 'cook' the sauce, and it could separate.

Ingredients

Uncooked scallions

3 medium, chopped

Fresh oregano

1 tbsp(s), or 2 tsp dried

Lemon zest

1 tsp(s)

Feta cheese

3 oz

Canned diced tomatoes

14½ oz, drained

Table salt

tsp(s), or to taste

Black pepper

pinch(es), or to taste

Uncooked angel hair pasta

8 oz

Plain fat free yogurt

1 cup(s)

Uncooked shrimp

8 oz, medium-size, cleaned, peeled and deveined

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
  2. In a food processor, process scallions, oregano and lemon zest until scallions are finely minced. Add half the feta cheese, crumbling and reserving remaining feta in a small bowl. Add yogurt and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in diced tomatoes and reserved feta. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add shrimp to boiling water and cook until done, about 2 minutes (less if you are using small shrimp). Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and add to sauce. Do not drain water. When water returns to boil, add pasta and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes. Combine with sauce and serve.
