This springtime pasta just oozes fresh and crispy vegetables and herbs. I like to add peas and spinach along with lots of parsley and mint, but you can use any fresh vegetables and herbs. Just don’t forget the lemon zest and truffle oil because they add that extra spring flavor! Our household favorite is quinoa brown rice pasta because it’s light and healthy.
Boil pasta in a generous amount of salted water according to directions.
While pasta is cooking, prep the rest of the ingredients -- first, chop shallots and herbs.
Zest two lemons and measure out ¼ cup lemon juice.
Immediately drain pasta and place pasta and peas in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
Toss in greens, add chopped shallots herbs, and lemon zest, and stir with truffle oil.
Serve immediately.
