Lemon Capellini with Almond Parmesan

This is one of my absolute favorite summer pasta dishes!

Lemon Capellini with Homemade Vegan Almond Parmesan - A quick and easy weeknight dinner or make-ahead for a potluck with friends.

Perfect as a quick and easy chilled pasta perfect for a weeknight dinner or a make-ahead dish for a summertime potluck with friends!

This cool lemon capellini with homemade vegan almond parmesan is capped off with in-season radish sprouts for a fun pop of color and a satisfying crunch.

This is a dish that is best served cold, which I especially love since we are currently right in the middle of the hottest part of summer.

The flavors of lemons, radish sprouts, and almonds blend beautifully with thin capellini noodles for a light and refreshing cold pasta perfect for a hot summer night!
