I'm so happy to share with you one of my favorite pasta recipes! 

Olive & Tomato fettuccine is a budget-friendly, healthy meal that packs a lot of flavors.  The lemon zest mixed with tomatoes and olives will make your taste buds sing.  All you need for this simple recipe is a pot of boiling water and a few simple ingredients.




INGREDIENTS:
1 lemon
3 tomatoes, diced
3 cloves of crushed garlic 
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives sliced
1 box of Barilla fettuccine
optional...grated parmesan cheese & crushed black pepper

You can tweak the ingredients to your liking.
{If fresh herbs aren't available you can use dry.}

COOK THE FETTUCCINE ACCORDING TO THE PACKAGE DIRECTIONS.  



            WHILE THE FETTUCCINE IS COOKING PREPARE THE INGREDIENTS:

USING A VEGETABLE PEELER REMOVE THIN STRIPS OF PEEL FROM THE LEMON AND 

CUT THE STRIPS INTO VERY THIN SLICES.  POUR THE OLIVE OIL INTO A 

LARGE SERVING BOWL.  PLACE THE LEMON PEEL, DICED TOMATOES, OLIVES, 

GARLIC, BASIL, AND OREGANO IN THE SAME SERVING BOWL.  ADD THE 

COOKED FETTUCCINE TO THE MIXTURE AND TOSS TO COMBINE.
