This is a delicious and ultimate vegan pasta with bold flavor of lemon and makes an easy weeknight meal! This is great for lunch too as well as for any crowd. In short, it can be described as simple and tasty!

This lemon pasta is vegan and uses vegan parmesan. I often make vegan parmesan and stock in the refrigerator to sprinkle on breads and pasta, and it gives the perfect cheesy and nutty flavors. Regular parmesan can be used if you prefer.
Lemon juice as well as zest is used in this recipe. Depending on how you like the lemon flavor, anywhere between 2-3 tablespoon of lemon juice can be added for the given quantity of noodles. For us, this was perfect and the flavor of lemon comes through each and every bite.
This comforting pasta is easy to prepare. Yes, in under 30 minutes, this can be made and set at the table. That's always a winner! All it requires is pasta cooking time. There is not much prep work here as garlic and parsley alone need to be chopped and that can be done quickly. This can be served with a salad on the side. This is a comfort meal for us just like our traditional Lemon Rice. Be it any grain, lemon adds a zing and that's enough to make it the most delicious meal of all.
I have used angel hair pasta as it cooks quicker and helps in reducing the meal prep/cooking time. Any pasta can be used but I prefer using noodle shaped ones rather than other shaped pasta. The thin angel hair pasta along with lemon, garlic, and parsley is just amazing in flavors and you can taste heaven in each bite.
Fresh or dried parsley can be used. Any type of parsley - curly or flat leaf parsley can be used. I use what I have on hand, and the end result is absolutely delicious lemon pasta!
Black pepper powder or chili flakes can be added as per taste for the heat. I love it with chili flakes, whereas my kids prefer it as such. Both ways, tasty, adjust the spice levels as per preference and enjoy this as the best meal.

Monday #LemonWeek Recipes
The sour tasting amazing lemon is so versatile and is great for any recipes right from appetizer to savory to desserts! It is amazing in a thirst quenching drink and nothing can beat this Kumquat Lemon Iced Tea. The pH of the lemon helps in making the color changing lemonade that kids would be entertained with it learning science while enjoying a lemonade with this Butterfly Pea Flower Lemonade. Lemon and Rice Cheese Bombs is a great appetizer. Lemon Rice, Lemon Rasam and Lemon Potatoes - Indian Style are amazing for the main course meal. These are comfort meals for us! Lemon Strawberry Muffins are a great breakfast on the go whereas these Eggless Lemon Lavender Cupcakes are a perfect spring dessert! Meyer Lemons are mild and are great for desserts and I love this Eggless Honey Meyer Lemon Bundt Cake, one of my favorites!
