    I made half of it and my yogurt looked like it would not manage the pasta water so I didn't add it.

    I really loved this. The creamy tang from the yogurt, the crunchy breadcrumbs and the pinenuts browned butter all add up to an unusual but delicious pasta. Agree with VineTomato that it it very rich and the garlic needs a lighter touch

    I wasn't sure I would like this, but love trying new things. I liked it but I think as a one time dish - not sure I will make this again. I found the raw garlic too overpowering - delicious at the time but not so much afterwards. It was incredibly rich - and I felt slightly ill afterwards.
