Delicious - Refreshing - Light: that describes our lemon pasta
Dear foodies and pasta lovers, today I want to share an incredibly refreshing and easy pasta recipe with you: Lemon Pasta! This delicious meal is perfect for anyone looking for something light, healthy, and refreshing. The secret lies in the unique combination of fresh lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, which creates a creamy yet light sauce that's perfect for layering over the pasta. With just a few ingredients and in less than 30 minutes, you can prepare this delicious dish at home. So let's get started without further delay!
20 minutes
Ingredients
- 250g spaghetti
- 50g butter (or substitute with 50g cup of vegan butter)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Zest of half a lemon
- a squeeze of lemon juice
- 250 ml vegetable broth
- a handful of basil
- 1 Seed Pad Arugula Microgreens
- a handful of red cabbage microgreens
preparation
- Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted water. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-low heat. Sauté the garlic, lemon zest (from an unwaxed lemon), a squeeze of lemon juice, 100 ml vegetable stock, a few basil leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for another 3 minutes. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
- Now you need to be quick and pour your hot sauce directly over the pasta, along with a handful of red cabbage and arugula microgreens or other microgreens of your choice.
- Our tip: Slightly sweet red cabbage microgreens wonderfully complement the peppery notes of the arugula. Finish with a little Parmesan (or chopped cashews), a pinch of salt, freshly ground pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
