I love pasta! Not only is it easy and inexpensive to make but there are so many different types of pasta dishes that you can make. Since I have been in a lemon phase lately, I thought that it would be delicious to make a pasta dish that incorporated lemon along with chicken and vegetables. 

I love easy recipes, especially ones that use ingredients that are simple to find. Lemon Spaghetti with Zucchini and Squash uses few ingredients and does not cost a lot to make. This is a huge win in my book.
