...and I WILL make this again...I thought it was delicious. I looooooove lemon + pasta.
Have you tried my Shrimp Scampi Fresca? Yum.
Anyway, I have been seeing recipes around on other food blogger's sites for lemony pasta, because it is a very summery dish...
...however...
...most of them contain heavy cream. Which, in my world, does not equal a happy bikini season. Or a happy tummy for me.
So I set out to make a lighter lemon pasta, but I still wanted to keep some of the elements of the other dishes I saw out there, like the grilled chicken, and basil.
Here is what I came up with!
Angel Hair Pasta with Lemon, Basil and Grilled Chicken (serves 4)
For the chicken:
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- Juice of one lemon
- 1/4 cup of dry white wine
- 1 - 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and Pepper
For the pasta:
- 1/2 package of angel hair pasta
- 4 lemons, juiced (remove any seeds that fall into the juice)
- 1 bunch of asparagus, washed and trimmed, then cut into 1.5 inch pieces
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup of basil, julienned
- 1/3 cup of dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/3 cup of olive oil
- 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
