Lemon Linguine with Chicken and Basil

 Serves 4

Nice bright and fresh recipe. Feel free to use Gluten Free Pasta

• 4 cups water
• 8 ounces whole-grain linguine or fettuccine, broken in half
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
• Chopped fresh basil for garnish

Directions

1. Combine water, pasta, oil and salt in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 12 minutes.
2. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper and chicken. Serve topped with basil, if desired.
