Ingredients
  • 2 servings dried whole wheat spaghetti
  • olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 1 lemon
  • sea salt
  • vegetable broth
  • hot red pepper flakes
  • your favorite leafy green

Directions
  1. swirl some olive oil in a big skillet- preferably a flat one with high sides, in which the spaghetti can lay down flat.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!


I love making recipes like this using greens from my organic garden.
