Once the pesto base is smooth, stir in the yogurt and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the farfalle and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's al dente — tender but still with a slight bite.
Drain the cooked pasta, reserving a splash of the starchy cooking water if you like, then transfer it to a large bowl. Add the prepared pesto sauce and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated.
