Ingredients
  • ½ pound angel hair pasta, gluten free if needed
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter, vegan butter is fine too
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ⅔ cup vegetable broth
  • ½ cup fresh parsley, minced
  • ½ cup toasted walnuts
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, preferably a good one like Parmisiano Regiano
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Instructions
  1. Boil pasta according to package directions. While the water comes to a boil, toast the walnuts in a small skillet over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of oil, 1 butter and the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes (do not burn garlic). Stir in fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, broth and simmer on medium low for a 4-5 minutes to let broth reduce a little. Add drained pasta, along with parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving dish and top with parsley, toasted walnuts and additional cheese and salt to taste.
