Lemon Garlic Spaghetti

Bingo and Donni bday celebration tonight - needed something quick and easy, but yummy!!  This was awesome!  I didn't really think it would be anything special, but it was so so good!  AND it made enough for my lunch the next day too - a perk to cooking for one :)  But yeah - looking for an alternative to your normal spaghetti - do it up!  Super good!!

Serves 2

Ingredients:
4 oz dry spaghetti
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 teaspoon olive oil
1 clove garlic
1/2 lemon
2 tablespoon pine nuts
5-6 basil leaves, chiffonaded

First, start your garlic oil. Pour in olive oil and chopped up garlic into a small frying pan and let it cook over low, until the garlic starts to brown on edges. Immediately remove from heat and reserve.

While that’s starting up, boil up some spaghetti.

Chiffonade some basil leaves. Fresh is, as usual, the best.  Then you take some cheese…Some pine nuts…
And dump it into a large bowl, with the garlic oil, garlic chunks and all. Squeeze in lemon juice. Throw in the spaghetti and toss until well combined. Plate, crack some black pepper on it, and nom.
