Lemon Pasta with vegetables Recipe
This is a delicious summer pasta dish. It serves well as a main dish, but also is delicious alongside grilled meat or fish. Tastes great as leftovers too! Credit goes to my wonderful daughter in-law Jacki for this one.
Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced

Directions
