Summer sports are in full swing here!

Between early practices, late practices, and the sporting events themselves, it seems like we’re going full speed all the time lately.

It is good to be busy but that also means that dinner prep and cooking time can be tight some days.

I like this pasta recipe for several reasons:

  • It’s easy to make.
  • No fussy or complicated steps.
  • Ingredients are simple and inexpensive.
  • Start to finish time is 20 minutes or less.

Garlic Spaghetti is another good one for days like these.

Ingredients for Pasta Piccata

  • 16 ounces linguine
  • 4 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup vegan Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste

    Pretty good! Super strong lemon flavor (a bit bitter) but adding the salt helped to balance that out. Very easy recipe, would make again!
