Lemon Parmesan Angel Hair Pasta
I use this recipe as a side dish for a lot of my meals. This pairs well with so many things. You can literally make grilled chicken, steak, pork tenderloin.. anything! You can't go wrong with this pasta. It's easy to make. requires minimal ingredients and it's delicious! This is meant to be a side dish so it's nice and light. It's not a super creamy pasta for that reason. It's not heavy enough to be a main course but it has enough delicious flavor you'll want more and more! Enjoy!
