CAPELLINI WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

SERVES 4 (6 to 8 as a side dish)

This is quick and easy, as well as healthy and very good. I prefer it as a side dish, but you could use it as the main dish.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound capellini or other thin spaghetti

1/2 cup olive oil

3-4 tablespoons minced garlic

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice and half of the zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Cook the pasta according to package directions for al dente. Drain. Add the oil and garlic to pot and sauté about 1 minute. Return the pasta to the pot and toss. Add salt, pepper, lemon juice, zest and parsley. Toss again. Serve, passing the cheese separately.

Note: If using as a side dish, this pasta can be made up to an hour ahead, set aside at room temperature, and reheated in microwave.
