Yes….the weather around here has FINALLY started to warm up, despite our concerns that spring might never make an appearance. See, I live in Wisconsin, where winter lasts 5-6 months out of the year. And by winter, I mean BITTER COLD! As you might imagine, after 5-6 months of hibernating indoors, we are ready for spring and all the goodness it brings!

One of my very favorite parts of spring? The FOOD, of course! Everything gets a little lighter and brighter in spring…..and simple, fresh flavors take center stage. This dish is a perfect example! Seasoned with just garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and fresh ground pepper, it tastes just like spring feels: refreshing!!

Of course, no dish is the same without cheese (I’m from Wisconsin, remember?) so I added just the right amount of fresh Parmesan cheese to give it an extra kick of flavor. And….voila! The perfect spring pasta dish, in no time at all! Happy spring, my friends! Enjoy!
