Weeknight Lemon Butter Pasta

With all the busy days ahead this month, I thought it’d be a good time to start a weekly tradition of sharing a simple dinner recipe that takes under 20 minutes to prepare. I know everyone is rushing around trying to get stuff done and also feed their families tasty meals, so here I will share some dinners my kids and partner have really enjoyed. No super weird ingredients, no complicated instructions, and dinner on the table in 20 minutes or less! This is my weeknight lemon butter pasta, a staple ’round these parts.

For this particular recipe, I used one of my favorite faux-chicken products on the market today, No-Evil Foods No-Chicken. I really recommend you give it a go. If you cannot find it or are in a pinch, you can use another brand or even some cannellini beans to replace the protein. No-Evil Foods is an all-around amazing company that has donated to a local non-profit I’m a board member of, Chattavegan. They recently donated 10 pounds of product for us to use in our upcoming community outreach potluck! So if you see this brand around, please support them. I always try to stick by philanthropic companies that care about community. Plus, their stuff is epically good!

This weeknight lemon butter pasta dish is filling, flavorful, lemony goodness! The noodles are satisfying without being too heavy, and the vegan chicken provides a nice bite to liven up the pasta. Spinach brings loads of vitamins and a beautiful green color to the dish. I love topping this with Follow Your Heart vegan parmesan, but it’s optional. 

**Gluten-free: Just use GF linguine in place of wheat pasta and use a GF vegan chicken option like Daring brand for the chicken.
