Recipe Introduction


This is quick and easy, as well as healthy and very good. I prefer it as a side dish, but you could use it as the main dish.





List of Ingredients



• 1 pound capellini or other thin spaghetti
  
• 1/2 cup olive oil
  
• 3-4 tablespoons minced garlic
  
• Salt and pepper to taste
  
• Juice and half of the zest of 1 lemon
  
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  
• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  






Instructions



1. Cook the pasta according to package directions for al dente. Drain.
   
2. Add the oil and garlic to pot and sauté about 1 minute.
   
3. Return the pasta to the pot and toss. Add salt, pepper, lemon juice, zest and parsley. Toss again. Serve, passing the cheese separately.
   
   






Final Comments


SERVES 4 (6 to 8 as a side dish)

Note: If using as a side dish, this pasta can be made up to an hour ahead, set aside at room temperature, and reheated in microwave.
