1/2 pound spaghetti |
1 1/2 cucumbers |
1 large garlic clove |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt |
1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk |
1/4 cup fresh dill sprigs, chopped |
3/4 pound vine-ripened cherry tomatoes |

Directions:
1. In a 6-quart kettle bring 4 quarts salted water to a boil for spaghetti.
2. Peel and seed 1 cucumber and shred on large holes of grater. Squeeze shredded cucumber in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess liquid. Seed and dice remaining half cucumber. Chop garlic and mash to a paste with salt. In a large bowl stir together shredded and diced cucumber, garlic paste, yogurt, buttermilk, all but 1 tablespoon dill, and salt and pepper to taste.

5. Serve spaghetti topped with tomato mixture.
