It appears I am on a bit of a food photography kick lately. Two recipe/food related posts in a row?! Again, I am pulling this one from the archives per a recent request to share it again. This is such a perfect dish to make for the summer. The addition of lemon wakes up the pasta, making it less heavy and more heavenly. I hope you enjoy it as much as my crew does.

This looks so simple and so good. I’m betting this would be yummy with some white beans (as an alternative to pasta). Definitely adding this to our summer dinner menu.
ooh, that’s a great idea. I am always a fan of white beans. Let me know how it comes out!
ooh! I bet that would amazing. This is seriously one of my favorite dishes. Let me know how it turns out!
I am on a food kick too, taking lots of photos in the kitchen. I love those stacked up lemons and I will make this pasta! We need to cook together soon. xoxo
I couldn’t agree more! Hoping to have a little house warming party in mid july or early august… hope you will be on this isde of the state.
