Happy April Fool's Day! Nobody will ever believe this recipe's creaminess comes from fat-free yogurt and not cream!

Ingredients

8 oz Uncooked whole-wheat spaghetti

1 Serving cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving)

1 Medium onion(s), chopped

1 pound Frozen mixed vegetables, thawed

1 tbsp Curry powder

1/2 cup Fat-free chicken broth, reduced-sodium

2/3 cup Plain fat-free yogurt

1/4 cup Cilantro, fresh, chopped

2 Medium scallion(s), thinly sliced

Preparation

Cook spaghetti according to package instructions (but without oil). Drain and refresh with cool water; set aside.

Meanwhile, coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Add onion and vegetables; sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add curry powder; cook 20 seconds more. (Note: You can use any frozen vegetable mixture in this dish such as Chinese vegetables, or even just plain broccoli.)

Pour in broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon; cook 1 minute. Stir in yogurt; bring mixture to lowest possible simmer. Stir in spaghetti, cilantro and scallions; serve at once. Yields about 1 heaping cup per serving.
