Ingredients
  

  • 1 (1 lb) dried thick spaghetti
  • 3/4 stick unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup(s) minced fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup(s) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the spaghetti until it is "al dente", reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and drain the linguine well.
  • While the linguine is cooking, in a heavy skillet cook the butter over medium heat, swirling the skillet occasionally, until it is nut-brown in color.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the butter, parsley, Parmesan, and oregano until the mixture is combined well.
  • Whisk in the yogurt and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the spaghetti, toss the mixture well, and add enough of the reserved cooking water to thin the sauce to the desired consistency.
  • Ready in 20 min.
