Ingredients
- 2 servings dried whole wheat spaghetti shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced shopping list
- 1 lemon shopping list
- sea salt shopping list
- vegetable broth shopping list
- hot red pepper flakes shopping list
- your favorite leafy green shopping list
How to make it
- swirl some olive oil in a big skillet- preferably a flat one with high sides, in which the spaghetti can lay down flat.
- Smash and mince 2-3 cloves of garlic, and add it to the room-temperature oil with a healthy dash of hot pepper flakes (depending on your heat preference) and the zest of 1 lemon.
- Turn the stove on very low heat as to not brown your garlic.Once the oil begins to bubble and release its yummy fragrance, throw in your dry spaghetti.
- Toss to coat the noodles well in the lemony-garlicky oil, and add enough broth or water (or a combination of the two) to barely cover the noodles. Let it bubble away, gently stirring, until the noodles are al dente and the broth absorbs. You will need to add liquid as it cooks to keep it from sticking to the pan.
- Toward the end of the cooking process, throw your greens on top and cover to wilt. Once the noodles and greens are to your desired texture, add the juice of your zested lemon and a little salt and pepper.

An elegant, simple spaghetti! I'll make sure to keep this on my list when I need something quick, healthy and satisfying. Oh, and to add the dry spaghetti *after* the garlic has sizzled and not boil a whole batch? Interesting and fun!
