When I recently saw a recipe in Parade magazine for “Bagel and Lox” pasta, I just had to try it! This is my tweaked version, perfect for a light dairy dinner or brunch!

Start by melting 1 Tbsp of butter or Smart Balance in a pan. Add 2 small onions and 2 cloves of garlic. Cook about 5 minutes until translucent. Lower the heat and add 1 cup of plain yogurt and a 1/4 cup of cream cheese. Stir until melted and combined—don’t boil! Take it off the heat and add 1/2 to 1 Lb of smoked salmon (I used 1/2 Lb). Add to a box of cooked pasta (any will do, I used gemelli). Toss, add salt/pepper to taste, fresh parsley, and an optional squirt of lemon juice.

Delish!

Would you try Bagels and Lox in a bowl?
