Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large lemons
1 (16 ounce) package whole wheat penne
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Wrap lemons in aluminum foil.
  • Place lemons in the preheated oven and roast until tender, about 30 minutes.
  • While lemons are roasting, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain pasta and set aside.
  • Remove lemons from the oven and let cool slightly. Remove foil, slice each lemon in half, and squeeze roasted lemon pulp into a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add lemon pulp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add cooked pasta, basil, salt and pepper; toss well. Serve hot.
