Above the ideal 4:1 (6:1).
It can, especially when the portion is paired with vegetables and a satisfying protein source such as beans, lentils, chicken, or eggs. This makes the meal more varied and generally more filling.
Add yogurt after taking the pasta off the heat, or when it has cooled slightly. This helps prevent the yogurt from splitting and keeps its texture smoother.
