A light pasta dish \u2014 and one of my favorites. I serve this with Chicken Piccata always – it has enough body to hold up to the bold flavors of the lemon sauce, but a light enough flavor that it won\u2019t over-power the chicken. It can be served on it\u2019s own, or with any type of meat \u2014 steak, roast, chicken, pork, fish.<\/p>\n

This recipe is nice in summer, when you can pick the basil from the garden, or get it fresh from the market.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
