Ingredients

  • 1 pound whole wheat linguine
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Organic Basil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Organic Black Pepper
  • 1 cup feta, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • salt

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add linguine and a splash of olive oil.
  2. Follow directions on the pasta package and cook to desired doneness, about 8-10 minutes. 
  3. While the pasta is cooking, add minced garlic to a medium-sized pan over low heat and coat bottom of pan in olive oil.
