    This is a delicious summer pasta dish. It serves well as a main dish, but also is delicious alongside grilled meat or fish. Tastes great as leftovers too! Credit goes to my wonderful daughter in-law Jacki for this one.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound spaghetti
    • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
    • 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
    • Salt & Pepper to taste
    • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
    • 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
    • 1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
    • 1 lb fresh spinach

    Directions

    1. Put 2-3 quarts of water into a spaghetti pot and turn to high.
    2. Whisk oil, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice in a large bowl.
    3. Saute mushrooms in 1/3 cup olive oil, about 5 minutes turning once. Remove mushrooms to a bowl, and add spinach. Saute an additional 3 minutes and remove to bowl with mushrooms.
    4. Cook pasta, reserve 1 cup cooking liquid. Toss pasta with lemon sauce and add the reserved water 1/4 cup at a time until moistened to desired level. Season with salt & pepper and add the mushrooms and spinach.
    5. Garnish with lemon zest and chopped basil.
