Almond Tomato Pasta

This is another quick and easy pasta recipe. The sauce can be made whilst the pasta is cooking - i.e. less than 10 minutes. A handful of fresh basil can be used instead of dried, and olive oil can be used instead of nonfat Greek yogurt to make the recipe more like a pesto pasta dish. However, the oil will add more calories and fat to the nutritional content.
