Greek lemon pasta
When Im feeling lazy and not wanting to cook this is my go-to dinner.
It’s easy light and filling. I use gluten-free pasta but you can use fresh or boxed.
Ingredients for the base of the pasta
1/4 small box Spaghetti or fettuccini noodles regular or gluten-free.
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 fresh squeezed lemon and its zest
1 Tbsp Oregano fresh or 1 tsp ground
1 Tbsp Dill fresh or 1 tsp ground
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh grated parmesan
You can add any fresh Italian herbs you want to this.
Top it
I top it with fresh grilled or broiled veggies such as zucchini, mushrooms, or asparagus. If you like you can add lemon grilled chicken or fish for some protein.
Directions
Add 6-8 cups of water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add salt to the water you always want to salt your pasta water.
