Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Olives and Lemon

Hi loves!  So I know I've been slacking on recipes this week, but my boyfriend's brother is getting married Friday so we are crazy busy!!  I absolutely love weddings and this one is going to be amazingly beautiful, I can't wait :)

Pictures to come!!

Anyway, I haven't been completely out of the kitchen.  I'm so excited to be guest posting over at Not Rachael Ray today and I was so happy she invited me to share with everyone!  You should remember Rachel, she made those yummy Blueberry-Strawberry Muffins that were such a huge hit :)  So I decided to make a dish by one of my FAVORITE and most beautiful chef's, Giada de Laurentiis!  I saw this Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Olives and Lemon on one of her shows and just had to try it.  We loved it and the best part??  It actually tasted great cold the next day, much like a pasta salad.  Yum!

So go check out this fabulous recipe over at Not Rachael Ray and make sure to send her some love as well!  Hope you're all having a great week and don't worry, I've got lots of recipes to share real soon!

Oh and I may even have a fun giveaway next week as well ;)

My daughter loves sundried tomatoes, I can't wait to get back home in Sicily where we have plenty of them. I found you at my friend blogsgotheart and I'm following you immediately, your recipes are so appetizing! I just had lunch but you're making me hungry! I'd love this for dinner! You certainly won't eat yourself skinny at my blog...I make plenty of cakes, I'm a pretty good cakemaker:)

RavieNomNoms said...

Have fun at the wedding! Weddings are always so much fun...something about them just makes everyone seem to have such a good time.

Your pasta looks simple and fantastic! I love simplicity at its finest and it is right here. Not to mention, I really enjoy sun dried tomatoes!

Kate @ Kate from Scratch said...

MAgnificent! I love love love love love this dish. Did I mention I love it? Because I'm pretty sure I could eat the entire thing from the way my mouth is watering right now (not the ideal way to stay skinny, but I digress).

My point? Fabulous recipe. Love it.
