This Creamy Bruschetta Pasta is healthy and delicious. Greek yogurt lends a creaminess to this sauce without being heavy. Tomatoes, garlic, parmesan, and basil come together beautifully in this simple dish. Make it meatless by omitting sausage.

Meanwhile, bring large pot of well salted water to a boil. Cook pasta to al dente according to package instructions. Drain pasta, but don't rinse. Set aside.
Remove sauce from heat, add Greek yogurt, and season with additional kosher salt/pepper to taste. Add Parmesan and basil to the sauce, stirring to combine. Toss pasta with sauce. Serve immediately, with more Parmesan if desired.
