As spring gets closer and closer, my diet shifts from heavy winter dishes to lighter ones like this. Even though it’s not quite spring yet, we’ve been getting a few warmer, sunny days sprinkled in with the freezing cold ones.
This is a simple dish that is full of flavor from a combination of lemon and garlic, and gets a nice green health boost from the addition of crunchy pea pods. It’s a nice weeknight meal paired with a glass of white wine and some crusty bread.
Much of the flavor from this comes from a combination of Ava Jane’s Kitchen Avocado Oil as well as a new spice blend I got from them. It’s called the Everyday Blend and is a citrusy, peppery blend that can turn something as simple as plain noodles into a memorable meal.
If you want to ramp up the nutrition content of this dish, swap whole-wheat or even gluten free pasta in for the spaghetti. You can also add a variety of veggies; I think spinach or broccoli might be nice here as well. Or just keep it simple.

2 tablespoons Ava Jane’s Kitchen Avocado Oil
