Recipe Notes

  • Make a salad and dress it with olive oil and lemon juice (use the zested lemon from the recipe!)

  • Use refrigerated minced garlic, and/or use herb shears to slice basil directly into the pasta.

  • Add a dash of red pepper flakes in Step 11, and serve finished with fresh ground pepper.

  • Spread leftovers evenly on a baking pan and reheat at 350 for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. This will give you some little crispy edges and a "new" pasta.

  • Gluten-free: Use gluten-free farfalle, such as Jovial, or use your favorite short gluten-free pasta shape.

  • Dairy-free: Use dairy-free heavy cream, such as Silk. Alternatively, use dairy-free half & half, such as Ripple, or dairy-free milk, such as almond, cashew, soy, or pea protein. Use dairy-free butter, such as Melt or Earth Balance. Use dairy-free Parmesan, such as Go! Veggie or Follow Your Heart.
