Jesseca's Pasta

This recipe was sent to me by my friend, Jesseca Keefe. We went to nursing school together and she's a lovely person and a great cook! Our tastes seem to run the same gamut so she knew I'd love this! It's a great, quick pasta with so few ingredients you may have them in your fridge now.

2 cups low fat marinara

pinch crushed red pepper flakes

1 7 oz container Greek yogurt

6 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Directions

1. Cook pasta, drain

2. While pasta is cooking bring marinara and red pepper flakes to simmer over medium heat for 5 min. Remove from heat
