This quick and easy Lemon Spaghetti has a tasty, herby light taste that’s perfect for Spring dinners! Plus it’s quick (made under 30 minutes)!
Hey guys!
I’m still in a bit of a babymoon slash walking-zombie-tired-daze since I had my sweet baby {eureka! he came out!!}, but wanted to post a quick and easy {and really really delicious} dinner recipe for you.
I’ve posted a lemon pasta recipe before with lots of veggies, but this time I made it more Blake friendly….read: less green things.
I also didn’t have everything I needed on hand for that recipe, so this one is a bit of a stretch/variation. It’s not too lemony, creamy with not a lot of calories {thanks to some evaporated milk} and ready in about 20 minutes. Winning!
With spring *hopefully* around the corner, this recipe will definitely book in the new season nicely 🙂
