A simple celebration of summer
Posted September 24th, 2010 by noelle | View Comments
Following the introduction to gluten-free quinoa pasta yesterday, I wanted a share a recipe with you. Sometimes it’s just nice to have a pasta recipe on hand when you are looking for a little inspiration outside of pasta with tomato sauce. (Though I will admit, pasta and tomato sauce is still one of my most favorite comfort foods!)
This Quinoa Linguine, Lemon + Arugula recipe is one of my favorite pasta dishes in the summer. While it’s arguably on the lighter, summery side, I envision myself enjoying this dish for just a bit longer into these early days of fall. This dish is inspired by one of my favorite restaurants in Montauk – The Crow’s Nest.
