Preparation

Step 1

Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.Add pasta and cook according to package.

Bring the marinara sauce and red peppers to a simmer

Cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it has slightly thickened.
Remove sauce from the heat

Put the yogurt in a small bowl and stir in about 1/2 cup of the warmed sauce into the yogurt until smooth (this prevents the yogurt from curdling in the sauce). Whisk yogurt mixture into remaining sauce and keep the sauce off the heat

Drain pasta and slide it into a bowl

Add the sauce, basil and 1 teaspoon of the hot pepper sauce. Toss gently until the pasta is evenly coated

Season with salt and pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of hot pepper sauce if desired

Sprinkle with cheese and serve
