Oh man, this is one delicious pasta! I can’t even begin to tell you how quickly this pasta is gobbled up when it’s served at my house.
It has everything going for it. Carbs, olive oil, lemon, and garlic. I mean YUMMMM! Serious…YUM!
I’m not sure where this recipe originated from. It came to my table via my dear friend Craig.
This is even more delish if you make the sauce ahead of time (a couple hours) and just let it sit covered at room temp.
