Lemon Primavera Pasta
This pasta is great with shrimp tossed in or alongside halibut, salmon, or even chicken. This dish is also hearty enough to stand alone for a fulfilling and satisfying dinner – a perfect option for meatless Monday.
Ingredients
- 1 package Cappello’s Fettuccine
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 1 medium shallot, diced
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 12 ounces of organic baby tomatoes, whole
- 1 cup white wine (or sub with more bone broth)
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken bone broth
- 1 organic yellow squash, sliced

- Optional: Any variety of your favorite seasonal vegetables: eggplant, peppers, mushrooms, asparagus, 1 tablespoon of gelatin or arrowroot to further thicken the sauce
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee over medium heat. Add shallots and salt once ghee has melted. Cook for 3 minutes until shallots have softened.
