This is another fabulous recipe from my favourite pasta cookbook, Gino's Pasta by Gino D'Campo.I have been kindly given permission to publish three recipes from this must-have book and this recipe has become my quick go-to recipe for evenings when I don't have much time, but want something really tasty. It has been enjoyed by everyone I have served it to and I hope you will enjoy it too.
This sauce is particularly special when made with homemade pesto, but I often make it with a jar of emergency store cupboard pesto and it is still full of flavour and such a delight.

Instructions
1. Place the basil, pine nuts and garlic in a food processor. Drizzle in the oil and blitz until smooth.2. Transfer the basil mixture into a large bowl and fold in the lemon zest and yogurt. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.3. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and tip into the bowl with the yogurt pesto. Toss everything together for 30 seconds to allow the pesto to coat the pasta evenly.4. Serve immediately.5. Enjoy!
