Ingredients
- 16 oz bow tie pasta (farfalle pasta) use this gluten-free kind if you want
- 2 lemons
- 6 green onions thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese sub dairy-free alternative
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil avocado oil would work too
- 1 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt more to taste
Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Bring pot of water to boil. Add 1 box of bow tie pasta. Cook until al-dente according to package instructions.
- Lemon + Onion: While pasta is cooking zest and juice both lemons into the bowl you will be serving your pasta salad in. Add green onions to the same bowl
- Drain + Rinse: Once pasta is al dente, pour pasta into strainer and immediately rinse with cold water. Drain again. Transfer to your pasta bowl.
- Mix: Add olive oil, 1 teaspoons salt and parmesan cheese. Toss to mix completely.
- Taste + Adjust: Taste and add additional salt (I usually add an additional teaspoon or two, but everyone has different preferences so taste and adjust), parmesan cheese or olive oil, as desired.
- Serve: Serve and garnish with additional green onion, parmesan cheese and/or lemon zest, if desired.
Notes
- Add additional oil: If Lemon Pasta sits for a while, either out or in the refrigerator, feel free to drizzle additional olive oil before serving again as it will be soaked up by the pasta.

- Dairy-Free: To make dairy-free use a parmesan cheese substitute, as desired.
- Storage: Lemon Pasta will last 5-7 days in the refrigerator, covered.
