FOOD.

if you know me well, you know i'm not a big fan of cooking.

but i decided to surprise myself and offered to cook dinner for the family last night.

i also invited the boyfriend, and hoped he'd still love me even if my dinner turned out awful.

so i set out on my dinner making "adventure" and looked up recipes online.

wait, that's a lie. all i did was look in the food and drink section of pintrest.

which made my decision SO EASY.

i decided on sweet and spicy honey grilled chicken

and lemon garlic spaghetti.

first thing that came to my mind, they both sound delicious but not together.

i was wrong on that one, it worked out perfectly.

everyone really enjoyed dinner, and i felt so accomplished!

anyway, here is the recipe for the spaghetti, its super fast and easy:

Lemon Garlic Spaghetti – serves 2

4 oz dry spaghetti
1/4 cup grated parmesan
2 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic chopped up
1/2 lemon
2 tbsp pine nuts
5-6 basil leaves, chiffonaded

First, start your garlic oil. Pour in olive oil and chopped up garlic into a small frying pan and let it cook over low, until the garlic starts to brown on edges. Immediately remove from heat and reserve. While that’s starting up, boil up some spaghetti. Chiffonade some basil leaves. Then you take some cheese, some pine nuts…and dump it into a large bowl, with the garlic oil, garlic chunks and all. Squeeze in lemon juice. Throw in the spaghetti and toss until well combined. Plate, crack some black pepper on it, and nom.
