  • Take the zest from half a lemon and squeeze out its juice. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter. Fry the minced garlic for 1 minute. Then add the lemon zest and juice, heat for another minute.

Recommendations

  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooking the broccoli and green peas can make them mushy and unappetizing. 

  • A crusty bread or a side salad will complement the flavors of the pasta and make it a complete meal.

  • This dish is best enjoyed hot, so be sure to serve it immediately after making it.

Bon Appetit!
