Lemon and Garlic Pasta

Recipe #301073 | 26 min | 13 min prep | SERVES 4 , 4 bowls (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Daffazalea Ranch

This is a wonderfully different pasta dish. Light, quick, delicious and easy. The key is to have everything prepped before cooking because it comes together really fast. Great served with grilled anything but really nice with salmon. Ronzoni has come out with a thin spaghetti that is made with whole wheat flour, looks and tastes like regular pasta but has SIX grams of fiber. Fantastic!
