In the mood something different, but simple for supper tonight? This honey lemon spaghetti is it. It’s not the normal tomato sauce spaghetti, but something sweeter, smoother, tastier.
I’ve mentioned a time or two that I love lemon flavored just about anything. I love lemon cookies, and lemon brownies, I love hot honey lemon water, especially when sick. This spaghetti is the perfect meal for an evening when you don’t want to cook a big meal. It takes no time to make, but makes spaghetti night special.

This a unique version of spaghetti and it was awesome. It would love to try it with grilled shrimps or grilled bacon too. Thank you for sharing this.
I’ve never heard of this before, but it sounds like a yummy combination. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday.
