Let me introduce you all to the pasta recipe that I was obsessed with growing up! I'm still obsessed with it ... but at least now I have a few other recipes I alternate between.

But I would say I ate this pasta at least once a day for a year straight.

Yes, it was excessive.

Yes, I would do it again.

What is hot n' cold spaghetti??

You may be wondering what I mean by "hot and cold spaghetti"? I'm glad you asked! (or didn't)

Well, this recipe involves adding your cold yogurt sauce to the hot spaghetti. Hot spaghetti + cold yogurt sauce! The heat from the spaghetti helps loosen up the yogurt a bit and slightly cooks the garlic to mellow out the flavor.

The name also refers to the fact that this spaghetti in yogurt sauce can be served either hot or cold! You can make this recipe into a cold pasta salad or warm pasta dinner.

If you ask me, both are delicious, but I tend to lean to the chilled version!

Spaghetti in yogurt sauce storage:

When it comes to storage, you can make this spaghetti and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

One thing to keep in mind is that the garlic will start to lose its flavor the longer it sits, but you can always add the garlic right before you're ready to serve to preserve maximum flavor.

If you find the sauce has dried up, you can add a dollop of yogurt to make it creamy again.

Enjoy!


I feel like I'd need to issue a re-print if this was a newspaper!

You may have noticed a name change for this recipe. It was originally published under the name "Hot n' Cold Macaroni in Yogurt Sauce" (and the URL still shows that)

But that is WRONG!

This has been and always will be spaghetti! Of course, that's not to say you can't use macaroni. But to avoid confusion since I do use spaghetti, the name has been changed!
