Lemon Alfredo Pasta
(makes ~8 servings)
16 oz whole wheat spaghetti
4 tbsp olive oil
light cream cheese
juice and zest of 2 large lemons
1 bag full frozen peas, steamed
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
salt, to taste
4 shakes garlic powder
1/2 cup water
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain it.
Warm cream cheese, oil, and 2 tbsp lemon juice in a large saucepan over low heat until all melted. Add 1/2 cup of water (about 2 tbsp at a time) until the consistency is something you like. :) Try to keep it from being too thick. Add peas, pine nuts, lemon zest, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until well-combined. Add pasta to the sauce; stir to coat.
