| I did not wash the roasted pepper skin to keep all the goodness, like Ree said. All I did was peel them and scraped the black parts. |
3. Cook pasta in salted water for 8-12 minutes until al dente.
4.In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle in olive oil. Add diced onion and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes until soft. Pour in pepper puree and stir together.
5. Add broth, salt and pepper and stir. Pour in yoghurt and stir to combine.
6. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Stir to coat pasta and top with chopped parsley.

p/s: I learned something new today. Penne is the plural form of Italian penna. The word penna was derived from Latin penna (feather or quill). Source: Wikipedia.
