Lemon Linguine (This a great recipe that I’ve had for years.  It’s from Cooking Light.  It comes in handy when I get to really missing carbs)

6 oz. linguine
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 Tablespoons skim milk
1 Tablespoon margarine
1/8 teaspoon
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
lemon twists for garnish

Cook linguine in a large dutch oven according to package directions.  Drain and place in serving bowl;  toss with lemon juice and set aside to keep warm.

Combine milk, margarine, and salt in a small saucepan;  cook over low heat until margarine melts.  Add warm milk to linguine in serving bowl. Sprinkle linguine with Parmesan cheese and toss well.  Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon twists.  6 servings  (142 calories per serving)

I think I might do a little work on this recipe to reflect some updating.  I might try to do it with soymilk, whole wheat linguini and Brummel and Brown Yogurt spread.

I’m not exactly into experimenting when I cook but this recipe actually sounds pretty good. I may have to try it :-P
I personally don’t use music when I go out for a walk, I prefer to just enjoy being outside. Now when I exercise inside, yeah play that funky music!

I used to have a german shepherd, too, and I liked just being with him when I went walking but that was a long time ago. We travel a lot now and have given up on pets for a while since it was so difficult to board them and I always felt bad about it. So, with no big old doggy to walk, I just listen to the MP3. Hope you enjoy the recipe. I planned out my menu for the week and that’s a dish that my family likes when I fix a mediterranean lemon garlic chicken dish. We’re having it this week and I decided to go ahead and post the recipe for the linguini.
