Lemon Garlic Spaghetti

We were craving spaghetti the other night, but with these unseasonably warm temps meat marinara was sounding a bit heavy.  This is a light and refreshing alternative.  I'm sure it will make several reappearances at our table this summer.

Lemon Garlic Spaghetti
Ingredients:
-garlic, as much as you can handle :)
-2 Tbs olive oil per serving
-whole wheat spaghetti noodles
-3 lemons (mine were small), juiced
-basil, fresh or freeze dried
-walnuts, chopped
-shaved parmesan cheese

1.  Prepare noodles according to package directions.
2.  Warm oil and garlic over LOW heat.  Cook until garlic begins to brown, then remove from heat.
3.  Combine noodles, garlic oil, basil, lemon juice and walnuts. 
4.  Serve topped with parmesan.
