Chilled Spaghetti with Basil Sauce and Yogurt
Basil sauce itself doesn't blend well with the pasta, but I didn't want to add so much oil.
That's why I experimented with mixing in yogurt. It surprisingly added a rich flavor to the sauce and it was quite tasty.
This dish is also great as a side dish for a richer main dish!
Please leave out the lemon juice if you're not a fan of tart food.
Taste the basil sauce beforehand and adjust the amount of salt and pepper for the seasoning.
Squeeze with a cloth or paper towel and drain it well. For 1 serving. Recipe by Nanamama

Fennel Frond Yogurt Sauce Fennel Frond Yogurt Sauce
I wanted to use these fennel fronds. From what I’ve heard, they’re usually discarded. I read that you could make a pesto from it, but I was pretty turned off by that personally. I thought the flavor would better lend itself to some kind of a yogurt sauce... so I went that route.
