Baked Lemon Pasta

I’ve been wanting to try The Pioneer Woman’s Baked Lemon Pasta for a while now and I thought that there is no time better than the first of summer to give it a go. We thought it was actually pretty yummy! I think it’s a quick and easy dish to have during the summer. You aren’t slaving over the oven all day, but it still comes out delicious. We did go ahead and add some chicken to ours just so that we could have a little protein with the meal, but you can do it either way.

Thin spaghetti and angel hair pasta can be used interchangeably.

Can You Substitute Plain Yogurt For Sour Cream?

Yes, yogurt can be substituted for sour cream.

The yogurt closest in texture and flavor to regular sour cream is whole-milk Greek yogurt.
