How to Prepare Lemon-Butter Fettuccine with Parsley and Pine Nuts
- Boil the pasta per package instructions, then drain.

- Stir in your parsley, Salt & Pepper and top with the lemon zest.
- I recommend waiting to add the pine nuts until you've already plated the fettuccine to make sure they're evenly distributed - a little less than a Tablespoon per bowl.

I think that because this recipe was mentioned as an easy recipe for people transitioning into a diet with less processed food, the emphasis is more on improvement rather than perfection :)
