Ingredients
- 1 box pasta (any shape you prefer), 375 g
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 lemon zested
- 1/4 teaspoon chilli flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

Notes
- Think of this pasta as a canvas - you can add more veggies, cheese, tuna, chicken, chickpeas - whatever you want.
- Pasta purists will love it plain, fresh out of the skillet, with a grating of parmesan cheese and some lemon zest on top.
- This lemon pasta can be served cold, as a pasta salad. Leftovers can easily be turned into a salad by drizzling it with a simple lemon juice & olive oil vinaigrette.
