Garlic & Lemon Basil Pasta (Gluten Free)

Ingredients:
4 cups cooked pasta (I used 1- 12oz bag of  Uddo's Red Lentil Penne)
1 large garlic clove, minced

1 T extra virgin olive oil
1 medium to large lemon, juice and zest
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1/2 c loosely packed basil

Directions:
Bring a pan of water to a boil and then add pasta. Cook 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Drain. 

Meanwhile in a skillet, heat olive oil. Add minced or chopped garlic and saute 2-3 minutes. Add juice and zest of 1 medium to large lemon, stirring as you add. Add salt and pepper and stir. Turn off heat and add cooked & drained pasta and chopped basil. Stir well. Serve immediately or cover with a lid to keep warm until ready to eat.

This is a delicious side dish to go with grilled chicken or burgers, or a great lunch by itself. You can always use regular pasta instead of gluten free.
