   When the water for the pasta comes to a boil, salt generously and add the farfalle. Set the timer for 5 minutes and add the peas. Boil for another 5 minutes, until the farfalle is cooked al dente. Ladle 2 to 4 tablespoons of the cooking water into the yogurt mixture. Drain the pasta and add to the bowl with the yogurt and peppers, toss together and serve. Garnish each serving with slivered basil and crumbled feta if desired.
