I don’t post pasta recipes here very often, even though we eat pasta quite a lot at home – it often seems a bit too boring and straightforward to post (it doesn’t help that 90% of the time we just serve it with a dollop of shop-bought basil pesto).
I couldn’t resist sharing this lemon and artichoke pasta recipe though. Okay, it’s essentially just a lemon and artichoke pesto, so still not the most ground-breaking recipe ever, but it’s suuuuper flavourful, and only takes 15 minutes!
Hear that? As soon as your pasta’s finished boiling, you’re about 95% of the way there… my kind of recipe.
This recipe is perfect for those days when you want something a little bit special for dinner, but don’t want to spend more than 15…
