Indian cuisine is one of John's favorites. This pasta
sauce is basically a variation on the Indian raita, a
cooling, soothing combination of cucumber, cilantro
and yogurt. Do not substitute non-fat yogurt for
low-fat: over the heat of the pasta, the former
becomes too runny. Have all the ingredients 1 lb
Fettuccine cooked al dente according to package
directions

In a large bowl combine the basil, parsley, scallions
and tomatoes, and toss well to mix Spoon the yogurt
over the herbs and vegetables and blend well. Taste
and add salt and pepper if necessary.

Dive the hot fettuccine among four warm bowls. Spoon
the sauce over it and serve immediately.
