Summer Pasta

Today I'm giving you a gem of a recipe - so summery, so lemony - so utterly delish I make it incessantly! I call it my summer pasta - it's so faboosh I'd serve it to a maharajah! To make things even better it's a cinch to make - it takes 15 minutes to prepare for heavens sake! I like to serve this with a tangy sweet white wine - paired with a crusty baguette and good olive oil makes this meal decidedly divine!

2 boxes quinoa pasta cooked til al dente, then drained

the juice and zest of 2 fresh lemons

1/3 cup good olive oil

1/2 cup fresh basil chopped

1/2 cup fresh flat leaf parsley chopped

6 oz fresh mozzarella pieces

coarse salt and pepper to taste

add all ingredients to a large pasta bowl, toss + enjoy!

Hello! How many ounces of quinoa would I need? I buy it in bulk and I would love to make this recipe!

[Mrs. Lilien]

My dear Nakiya...for the recipe above you'd need 16 ounces, but please keep in mind this is quinoa PASTA, not plain quinoa!

Sounds delicious—I'll bet the texture of the pasta is great with the tangy oil. Where is this beautiful white bowl from?

This recipe sounds amazing. I have been craving lighter meals all summer with the heat wave, and this one is calling my name.
