Spaghetti alla Lemone
Lemony This fresh lemony pasta dish called Spaghetti alla Lemone is a great dish to prepare with grilled chicken or seafood. It can be served with a whole breast of chicken or fish fillet or the chicken or fish can be cut into bite size pieces and blended into the pasta. It’s flavor is rich with citrus, basil and garlic.
When I make this dish I add a little butter to give it a richer flavor. Also, I use just a little garlic so it doesn’t overpower the lemon flavor. You can also substitute whole wheat pasta for regular pasta. I’ve been using whole wheat a lot more lately. Spaghetti alla Lemone can be served as a full meal or as a side. This is also a great luncheon recipe for the springtime, if it ever gets here. It’s a very simple recipe to make.
