Lemon Pasta

After a weekend full o' celebrating (birthday parties, wine tasting, songwriter nights, good friends in town, meals out, cupcakes, and girl scout cookies) we desperately needed a simple, healthy meal for dinner last night :>)

I made grilled chicken, salad, and lemon pasta - I always forget how delicious and easy it is!

Lemon Pasta - for 2(w/leftovers!)

1/2 pound long pasta (Fettuccine, spaghetti)

3 small lemons

1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper

basil - fresh if you have it.  If not dried is fine.

1. Boil Pasta till al dente
2. In a bowl, squeeze the lemons - discard seeds.
3. Mix together lemon juice, olive oil, cheese, salt and pepper to taste.
4. Pour liquid over drained pasta.  Add basil and stir together.

To be honest, I never really measure the ingredients.  I just add a little here and there till it tastes good! Play around with it - if you like a little more lemon flavor, add another lemon!  

It is so easy and SOOOOOOO good :>)

xo,
