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
