A method is provided for the production of pasta with yogurt. Pasta made with yogurt can be prepared using dry yogurt powder or prepared yogurt. Such pastas are produced by carefully mixing the ingredients, extruding or pressing the mixture, then drying the formed pasta shapes at temperatures from about 130 degree F to about 200 degree F and at a low relative humidity sufficient to control the drying rate to a final moisture content of about 10 to 13 weight percent, wherein the pasta has, after processing and subsequent cooking, good color, texture, integrity and flavor.
