Spaghetti with Yogurt Carbonara

Classic carbonara uses the heat from freshly cooked pasta to warm raw egg and grated cheese into a semi-cooked, yet creamy sauce. Since fermented foods benefit from as little cooking as possible, it is only natural that we thought to add a little extra creaminess and probiotic goodness to our carbonara in the form of rich, Greek yogurt. The tangy yogurt is the perfect complement to salty cheese and spicy chili flakes. This under-10-ingredient recipe couldn’t be easier and is also great for scaling down into a single serving if you want a pantry meal that is ready in under 10 minutes. To make it gluten-free, simply use brown rice or quinoa spaghetti. If you are sensitive to lactose, you can also omit the cheese. Fermented dairy products like yogurt tend to be easier to digest for those who normally struggle. Yes, another reason yogurt comes to the rescue in this recipe!
