Spring Linguine with Basil

I know we’ve passed spring this year but I thought this pasta dish from Cooking Light sounded like it could be good for summer too. I don’t usually make pasta dishes with uncooked fresh pasta but I decided to stick with the recipe this time. Not only does fresh pasta cook faster than dry pasta but it made the meal feel lighter than most pasta dishes I make. While the lemon and basil add a flavorful boost, I feel like it was missing something. Replacing the reserved pasta water with white wine or broth might give it that little extra something. Overall, the meal was light and fresh but it was hard to get all of the flavors in one bite since it’s nearly impossible to keep peas on the fork when twirling linguine!
