Spaghetti in yoghurt-mint sauce

When, after a long, (mild) winter, spring kisses you overnight with its 25 °C, then spaghetti in yogurt-mint sauce is a refreshing spring and summer dish. And the heavy braised dish is welcome to take a break for now. Fresh, delicious and definitely quick and filling. These are high demands, but this creamy spaghetti in yogurt-mint sauce more than lives up to all of them.

Cooking for friends …

When I first served this dish to friends, they were a little confused. “The noodles are cold!”
Yep, this spaghetti is tossed cold in a delicious yogurt sauce with dried mint, grated cucumber and freshly crushed garlic and served with freshly roasted pine nuts. As great as the irritation was at first, an approving smile spread at the latest after the first fork. Spaghetti approved!

Fresh, fresh, yogurt mint sauce!

Especially on really hot days, when I can’t get the apartment cooled down even by drawn curtains and a big fan, I actually don’t like to eat something warm. At the latest then it is time for these delicious cold noodles with yogurt. The yogurt, cucumber and mint are all ingredients that have a really soothing cooling effect. Serving cold does not detract from the taste at all.

However, this recipe should not necessarily eat before a date. Because on that day you have to live with a proper garlic plume. So if you don’t have a date to make out, try this wonderfully fresh spaghetti in yogurt-mint sauce! 😉

Of course, you can also conjure up a vegan version and replace the yogurt with a vegetable alternative such as coconut yogurt. Try this quick and easy recipe right away!
