Perfect Lemon & Sausage Pasta

I created this recipe from scratch one day, and just adored it. Since, I have tweaked it to make it perfect to my standard so now it’s finally ready to share. I love this recipe because it’s so fresh for the summer months!

Ingredients:

• angel hair pasta (you could use any type of pasta here, but something about the angel hair really absorbs all the flavors nicely)

• 1 package hot Italian sausage

• 1 clove garlic

• 3 large lemons

• sundried tomatoes, chopped

• parsley

• parmesan cheese

• olive oil

• butter

• salt + pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Cook the Italian sausage on the stove and grind to your preference.
  2. Start boiling water to cook pasta
  3. Once Italian sausage is fully cooked, transfer to a plate and save for later.
  4. In the same pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil. Add in chopped clove of garlic and sundried tomatoes.
  5. Squeeze the juice of 3 lemons into the pan making sure the seeds are taken out.
  6. Start boiling your pasta and remove once it is el dente (3 minutes for angel hair).
  7. Once strained, add pasta to lemon juice & butter mixture.
  8. Add in a scoop of pasta water and let pasta absorb the flavors of the pan while you mix.
  9. Stir in sausage, 1 tablespoon parsley, and salt + pepper to taste.
  10. Plate and top with parmesan cheese.
