PASTA, PASTA and MORE PASTA but make it LEMON GARLIC. I have always been one to experiment with pasta because you just can’t go wrong. However, this one just might be the best one yet. Shane even gave it a 10/10 which is HUGE because he is more picky than you would think – probably because I’m always forcing him to try new things!

This is one of those recipes that looks like you need a lot of ingredients but more than likely you have most of them around the house already! Some of my best recipes have come from scrounging things up around the house and throwing everything together.

This is recipe is FAMILY friendly! The only thing I might leave out is the crushed red pepper if you have little ones because it does add a little kick BUT I will say that the spice perfectly offsets the sourness of the lemon sauce!

Recipe is listed below, let your girl know if you test this one out!

• 1lb boneless chicken breasts
• olive oil
• season salt
