Lemon Spinach and Asparagus Spaghettini

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy.

I’m exhausted from my week but excited to share one of  this week’s dinner creations;  lemon spaghettini with spinach, asparagus and sundried tomato.   It’s a fresh and spring-like recipe that is perfect for weeknights when you are short on time.  I’m all about simplicity and you can’t get much easier than lemon juice and olive oil with sautéed green veggies.   I threw some pine nuts on top to fancy it up and YUM.
