It is so hard for me to write about solid food right now while I’m doing a juice cleanse. It feels like a form of torture. However, this recipe for Gluten-Free Lemon Pasta is so tasty I just had to share it. Of course, if you follow With Style & Grace then you’ve already heard of this I’m sure.

This was the first time I tried corn based pasta. It was really good I have to admit. Usually I just substitute quinoa, spaghetti squash or spinach in pasta dishes, but I’m thinking this might be my new alternative. For a college student on a budget, I couldn’t have asked for a more simple, healthy meal. It’s much lighter than typical pasta dishes making it great for spring and summer.
