Who doesn't love pasta? I mean, come on...name one?! I love me some pasta in moderation, and this recipe is just PERFECT! If you want to add a little extra protein serving to this dish, you absolutely can! But I really wanted to keep it light, green, and easy to digest for a reason!
INGREDIENTS:
- 12oz whole-wheat spaghetti (uncooked) (gluten-free if required)
- 8.8oz asparagus, trimmed
- 1 large courgette, sliced and cut into quarters
- 1 bunch spring onions, trimmed
- 4.4oz basil pesto (vegan if required)
- 1 lemon, juiced
Start by cooking pasta according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large wok or frying pan add the asparagus, courgette and spring onions. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the basil pesto and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.
Toss the spaghetti with vegetables, season with salt & pepper and squeeze the juice of the lemon all over.
