Lemon Butter Herb Pasta

A quick, delicious, and light pasta sauce with a zesty flavor! You can easily add chicken, shrimp, or your favorite veggies to personalize this basic lemon-butter sauce. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

4 cups bow-tie pasta (farfalle)
¼ cup butter
¼ cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Gather all ingredients.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir chicken broth, lemon juice, oregano, basil, and garlic into butter. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium-low; cook until thickened to your desired texture, 5 to 7 minutes.
Season sauce with salt and pepper. Stir cooked pasta into butter sauce to coat.
