Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil salted water in a large pot. Add pasta and cook until just tender, about 9 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk yogurt with minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat until it foams and turns golden, ~2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add Aleppo pepper to the butter, stir for 20 seconds until fragrant, then remove from heat.

    Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Return pasta to the pot off heat.

    Pour yogurt sauce over pasta and toss gently, adding cooking water 2 tbsp at a time until creamy.

  7. Step 7

    Divide pasta between bowls and drizzle with the warm garlic butter. Serve immediately.
