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.
