Lemon Chive Noodles

Sharon123's Note:

This makes a great side dish, or add veggies and/or meat of your choice and turn it into a nice dinner, with maybe a salad. Adapted from Rachael Ray's Big Orange Book cookbook!

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• salt
• 1 lb fettuccine (or pappardelle)
• 2 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
• ½ cup soy sauce (or tamari which is aged soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lemon , zested, sliced
• 1 bunch fresh chives , chopped into 1-inch lengths
• black pepper (optional)
• hot sauce (optional)

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. When it boils, salt it generously, then add pasta and cook to just shy of al dente.
2. While water is coming to a boil, mix the stock, tamari, oil, and lemon slices and cook over medium high heat until slightly reduced, 7-8 minutes.
3. Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce for 1-2 minutes to absorb the flavor. Add the lemon zest and chives and toss to mix.
4. Serve the noodles as a first course or a side. If you like your pasta a little spicy, add pepper and hot sauce!

Happened to catch this show while dining at a local wine bar -- sound off. We had just picked up a dozen Meyer lemons at Costco and thought this would be perfect It WAS!! Had no idea what tamari was, and could not find it at 2 local groceries. Decided to add about 2 TB of soy -- and it was delicious. Found tamri at Wegmans, so will have for the next prep. Love lemons, and think plain old lemons will be just as tasty -- the Meyers are a tad sweet -- but VERY juicy. Thanks for posting, Sharon.
