Simple Pasta with Yogurt

I found a pasta recipe as I was browsing  Pinterest’s food photos. The recipe was originally named Pastitsio by LemonsforLulu It’s supposed to be a simple Greek pasta dish,  but I substituted the Greek yogurt to just plain yogurt. So these are the modified ingredients.

Why stove top? A pastitsio is a baked pasta dish, and it so happened I don’t have an oven. Period.

It’s actually simple and easy. It’s my first time to add yogurt to a recipe, and yes it makes a difference. I tell you honestly that I’m not an expert in the kitchen so I always look for easy recipes to make. I enjoy looking at only 2 to 3 ingredients, but in an attempt to make cooking fun, I experiment and try to beat my husband’s cooking haha. Anyway, this would make a nice lunch or dinner for the whole family.

INGREDIENTS:

500grams ground beef

150grams  tomato paste

250ml cream

1/2 cup yogurt (you can use 1/4)

500grams penne pasta
