Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a food processor, purée the basil, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and pine nuts until smooth. With the motor running, gradually add olive oil and process until a thick paste forms. Add Parmesan cheese and pulse twice. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
  2. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the pesto and Greek yogurt, stirring until well blended. Add the cold pasta and toss to coat with the dressing. Top with cherry tomatoes. Serve the salad at room temperature or refrigerate to serve chilled.
