Lemon Cream Linguine
This is my favourite throw-together-in-a-few-minutes vegetarian pasta. The sauce is ready by the time the pasta has cooked. You can use any long pasta for this dish which - although it has cream in it - is not thick or heavy. Serve with grated parmesan and add smoked salmon to the individual bowls just before serving for an Omega 3 (but not veggo) hit. Everyone who eats this, leaves the house with the recipe.

Altered ingredient amounts. I added the lemon juice bit by bit to taste and ended up using half the amount. I also added mashed avocado to the sauce and half the cream to make it a little healthier (plus I love avocado) - 09 Jan 2009
The lemon flavour is quite strong and would recommend the tweak offered - 10 Aug 2009
