Tasty food doesn't need to be complicated or cost a fortune.This is a seriously simple flavor packed pasta that is fantastic on its own or as a side dish.The combination of the zesty lemon, gentle balsamic vinegar sweetness and lush extra virgin olive oil gives you fuss-free delicious flavors. It stores really well so it would be ideal as a meal -prep idea or work lunch box meal. This is one of my favorite pasta shapes it reminds me of little bow ties. What is your preferred pasta shape?
