Save this ONE POT LEMON GARLIC PASTA for a quick a

Save this ONE POT LEMON GARLIC PASTA for a quick and easy dinner! Packed with punchy lemon and garlic flavours, this recipe comes together so simply. PLUS you can add your favourite protein to top it if you’d like.

Here’s the recipe friends!

INGREDIENTS:
3 tbsp butter or olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano
pinch chili flakes
400-450g dried pasta noodles (rigatoni, mezzi rigatoni, penne or ziti)
zest of one lemon
4 1/2 cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 tbsp butter
Garnish: shredded parmesan cheese, more lemon zest and fresh basil

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Heat butter or olive oil over medium heat. Once warmed, add garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes.
2. Next add salt, pepper, oregano and chili flakes (if using).
3. Then, stir in pasta and add vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and once simmering, turn to medium-low to keep at a simmer. Cook 12-14 minutes, keeping the lid most of the way on the pot. Stir once and a while to make sure the noodles aren’t sticking to the bottom of the pot.
4. Once noodles are cooked, there should be just a bit of liquid left, covering the bottom of the pot. If you find the noodles need a bit more time, add 1/2 cup more broth at a time and cook a bit longer until done. Stir in lemon juice, parmesan cheese and 1 tbsp butter until fully combined and you have a smooth sauce.
5. Top with shredded parmesan cheese, more lemon zest and fresh basil and enjoy!
