Here's a recipe for a perfect quick weeknight meal. It only takes about 15 minutes, uses simple ingredients, and will satisfy your cravings for yummy, carby pasta.

This dish goes perfectly with a citrusy white wine, such as McWilliams Hanwood Estate Pinot Grigio; but don't drink it all - the recipe calls for a splash of wine!

Green Pasta
Serves 2

1 fistful linguine (I like Catelli Smart - it's higher in fibre than regular pasta, but tastes the same!)
9 large asparagus spears
1 cup chopped green beans
1 lg clove garlic, mashed and minced
3 tbsp tightly packed fresh dill, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
A splash of a light bodied, citrusy white wine (about a tbsp)
Zest of 1/2 - 3/4 one large lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook linguine according to instructions on package. While the pasta is cooking, slice asparagus diagonally into 1 cm thick pieces. Put asparagus and beans in a small pot filled with one inch of water. Bring to a boil, cook for about 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Mix garlic, dill, olive oil, wine, and zest in a small dish. When pasta and veggies are done cooking, drain, and combine. Add the oil mixture, and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste!

What's your favourite weeknight meal? Do you, like me, often rely on pasta for a quick dinner?
