spaghetti lemon, recipe

1
Heat up a dry pan (meaning no oil or cooking spray added) on high heat. Add the chopped walnuts and toast them for about a minute. Be careful not to burn them - they will smell nutty as soon as they're finished. Set aside.
2
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti for about 8 minutes. Right before you drain the pasta, grab a coffee cup and take out about 1/4 cup of the pasta water and set it aside.
3
Heat a saute pan on medium heat and add the olive oil and minced garlic. Saute the garlic until soft.
4
Add the drained pasta to the pan and toss. Using a microplane zester, zest half of the lemon and add it to the pan. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze each half onto the pasta.
5
Add the pasta water, Greek yogurt, feta cheese and spinach, and let simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and the spinach has wilted.
6
Add pepper to taste. Top with the parmesan cheese and walnuts.
