 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.
