This lemon garlic pasta recipe is the perfect quick dinner recipe to make for the whole family if you want to make a home-cooked meal, but don't have a lot of time. It's made with simple ingredients and the final result is a light pasta dish with a creamy sauce and zesty flavor.
To a pan over medium heat, drizzle a generous amount of olive oil, then add the garlic and cook it for a few minutes, until it starts to release its flavors.
If you are adding chili flakes for an extra kick, add them here.
In a separate pot, cook your pasta according to the package instructions.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the coconut milk, squeeze out the lemon juice, and zest the lemon. Add in the salt and pepper and stir everything until you have a creamy mixture.
Add the cooked pasta to the creamy lemon garlic sauce.
If you like the consistency of the sauce runnier, you can add up to ¼ cup of pasta water or white wine. If you prefer your sauce creamier, leave it as is.
Serve with grated vegan parmesan and chopped Italian parsley on top.
