Lemony Burst Tomato Pasta

The perfect pasta dish for summer. Right here for you.

This is a super easy weeknight meal! I like to serve it up with a Kale Caesar salad. It is a light, refreshing pasta, pretty enough for entertaining and simple enough to whip up whenever you need!

Ingredients

  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups of cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 shallot diced
  • fresh parsley
  • fresh shredded parmesan
  • 1 package of pasta boiled according to package directions

Method

  1. In a large pan heat 1 diced shallot in 1/4 cup of olive oil with salt and pepper until softened over medium heat (about 4 minutes)
  2. Add 4 cloves minced garlic
  3. After a minute toss in 2 cups of cherry tomatoes and the red pepper flakes
  4. Squeeze over the juice of 1 lemon
  5. Let tomatoes burst over medium high heat (around 5 minutes)
  6. Toss in cooked pasta
