Lemon and spinach linguine

Mon, 24th Aug 2015

This is a great summer pasta dish. It’s really quick to make and full of the scent of Sicilian lemon groves. It tastes of summer even if there isn’t much sunshine; it’s also hearty enough to fill you up after a day at the beach and really easy to prepare.
