Instructions: Combine the yogurt, herbs and garlic. Fold in the cheese. Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Stir into hot drained pasta just before serving. Garnish with lemon zest if desired.

Variations and ideas: vegetable-flavored pastas like pepper, lemon, or spinach are good choices for this light sauce. Use any combination of fresh herbs, including spinach leaves. Shred jicama, carrot and raw banana squash (medium grate in Cuisinart). Toss with hot pasta and this sauce.

NOTES : heres a sauce for pasta that quick to prepare. if you dont have fresh herbs in the house, cook finely chopped broccoli and toss with the yogurt. Grated carrot or even pickled ginger make a crunchy garnish.
