Ingredients
  • 6 cups wagon wheel pasta [uncooked]
  • 4 cups of marinara sauce [I used this recipe]
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese, grated
  • ¼ cup each of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
  • Note: You can and should add extra veggies to this dish if you family likes it. I’ve included suggestions in the directions below.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375. Cook pasta for about 1-2 minutes less than what the packaged directions call for.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the yogurt and marinara sauce in a large bowl. Mix well.
  3. Drain the pasta and add to the same bowl as the sauce. Toss until the pasta is well coated.
  4. THIS step is where you can add extras: cooked ground beef crumbles, chopped spinach or zucchini, or even broccoli or cauliflower florets. My family prefers greens on the side rather that in the pasta, but that’s your call!
  5. Spoon pasta into a 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
