Simple Lemon Parmesan Pasta

The easiest, most delicious lemon parmesan pasta you will ever make. I’m completely obsessed!

We make some variation of this pasta once week to be honest. It’s so simple and so satisfying, and goes so well with any pasta shape, veggies on hand, and protein of choice. We personally love it with asparagus, broccoli, or zucchini and shrimp or salmon. It’s light, fresh, and full of flavor.

Plus, you cannot beat how easy it is to make! It’s a 20 minute meal or less, and the perfect weeknight or Sunday meal.

I have not made this with any dairy free replacements, but let me know if you do! It’s always helpful to other readers 🙂

I keep this recipe as is, and I recommend it to get the best results! The only change I sometimes make is adding a splash of heavy cream after the wine if I have some on hand and want it extra creamy 🙂

I also always add extra black pepper. My favorite with pasta dishes like this one!!

I hope this lemon parmesan pasta becomes a new dinner staple for you guys like it is for us! I cannot get enough of it, and I know you’ll love it to!

If you scroll to the bottom of the recipe card, you can find some veggie and protein serving suggestions!

3. Add wine, salt, and pepper and allow to cook down for 4-5 minutes.

Notes

We like to serve this with zucchini, asparagus, peas, broccoli, and or spinach. I add the veggies in after the wine cooks down a bit with a small splash of veggie broth and some extra seasonings and allow to cook until veggies are cooked to your liking, then proceed with step 4. 

This is also delicious with sautéd shrimp, chicken, or salmon!
