Low-oil tomato yogurt pasta is made by tossing cooked pasta with tomato paste briefly cooked in a little oil, then adding yogurt. Take the pan off the heat before stirring in the yogurt so it stays creamy rather than splitting.
Yes, Greek yogurt works in low-oil tomato yogurt pasta and makes the topping thicker and tangier. Loosen it with a spoonful of warm pasta water before adding it, especially if it is too firm to coat the pasta evenly.
The yogurt in low-oil tomato yogurt pasta can split when it is exposed to intense heat or a sudden temperature change. Let the tomato sauce cool briefly, temper the yogurt with warm pasta water, and stir it in off the heat.
Low-oil tomato yogurt pasta is usually served warm, with the yogurt added after cooking. You can serve it chilled too, but keep the yogurt separate until serving if you want the pasta to hold its texture.
Short shapes such as fusilli, penne, or shells work especially well in low-oil tomato yogurt pasta because they catch the tomato sauce and yogurt. Spaghetti is also fine; serve the yogurt on top rather than trying to coat every strand.
Yes, you can make low-oil tomato yogurt pasta without tomato paste by using a little cooked-down tomato instead. Simmer it until thick so it does not make the pasta watery, then add the yogurt off the heat.
Yes, garlic is a common addition to low-oil tomato yogurt pasta. Stir finely grated garlic into the yogurt for a sharp, fresh flavor, or briefly cook it with the tomato paste for a milder taste.
Low-oil tomato yogurt pasta keeps for up to three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. For the best texture, store the cooked pasta and tomato sauce separately from the yogurt, then combine them when serving.
You can freeze the pasta and tomato sauce for low-oil tomato yogurt pasta, but freezing the yogurt topping is not recommended. Thaw the pasta in the refrigerator and add fresh yogurt after reheating, since frozen yogurt may turn grainy.
A crisp green salad or roasted vegetables go well with low-oil tomato yogurt pasta. Their fresh or lightly savory flavors balance the tangy yogurt and tomato without competing with the dish.

Low-oil tomato yogurt pasta combines cooked pasta with a tomato-paste sauce and yogurt. It is a simple, home-style combination familiar in Turkey, where yogurt is often served with pasta, either spooned over the top or alongside it.
The tomato paste brings a savoury, gently tangy flavour, while cool yogurt softens the sauce and makes the pasta creamy without needing much oil. The dish is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some protein from the yogurt; it has 2.5 g of fat per 100 g. For a more balanced meal, serve it with a crisp salad or vegetables, and keep the oil modest when preparing the sauce.
