Lemon Garlic Spaghetti with Sundried Tomatoes
Lemon Garlic Spaghetti with Sundried Tomatoes combines al dente spaghetti tossed in olive oil infused with garlic and fresh lemon juice. Chopped sundried tomatoes and pine nuts add bursts of texture and flavor, while parsley and lime juice on top brighten the dish further. The spaghetti is coated just enough to retain moisture and the fresh ingredients create a light pasta dish with bright, savory, and tangy notes.

- Heat olive oil and garlic in a large pan over medium-high heat, until garlic is cooked slightly for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Ensure all your ingredients are nearby.
- Toss the pasta in the olive oil to coat, then immediately add the salt, pepper and lemon juice.
