Pasta Al Limone
We can't think of a better way to ring in spring than with this zesty Pasta Al Limone.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients
5 ounces dry spaghetti
3 tablespoons vegan butter
2 small cloves of garlic, minced
¾ cup Califia Farms Unsweetened Almond Beverage
2 teaspoons lemon zest
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons grated vegan parmesan cheese
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice, to taste
Salt, as needed
Freshly cracked pepper, for garnish
Thin strips of lemon peel or lemon zest, for garnish
Directions
01
Set a large pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente (about 2 minutes shy of the boxed suggestion)
02
While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce. Add the vegan butter to a medium pot set over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the garlic and let sizzle until fragrant, about a minute or so - don't burn it!
03
Add the Unsweetened Almond Beverage and lemon zest, whisk, and let simmer for 3-5 minutes. Add the vegan parmesan, stirring until melted. Add the drained spaghetti along with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, and toss together to incorporate
04
Let the pasta cook in the sauce until it becomes noticeably thicker, about 5 minutes. Taste and add additional lemon juice and salt as needed
05
Divide between two bowls, garnish with a few strips of lemon peel or lemon zest and a few cracks of fresh pepper. Enjoy while warm!
