Lemon Ginger Noodles

Ingredients:

• 1 ten-to-twelve-ounce package thin egg noodles or rice noodles
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ½ tsp black pepper
• pinch salt
• 3 tbsp grated fresh ginger root
• 1 cup diced red bell peppers
• ¼ cup sliced green onions
• zest of one large lemon, finely grated or minced
• juice of one large lemon

Directions:

1. Cook the noodles in salted water. Drain but do not rinse.
2. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, add the garlic, olive oil and butter.
3. Cook for only a minute or so to soften but not brown the garlic.
4. Add the salt pepper, ginger, lemon juice and zest.
5. Ad soon as this starts to simmer add the bell peppers (and any other steamed vegetables you may be using)
6. Toss together for a minute or so to warm the vegetables through.
7. The noodles should be added at this point, immediately after they are drained while still piping hot, this makes them easier to coat evenly.
8. Toss together very well and serve immediately with the green onions sprinkled on top.

Ps. the picture attached is "unicorn noodles" and has been died with purple cabbage but will change to a violet or pink when you squeeze lemon juice on it.

Enjoy!!!
