Pasta with lemon

There is something about fresh lemon juice which adds a lot of zing to food and somehow on rainy days it 'ups' the spirit! And no olive oil please - as rains mean you need to stock on calories - so BUTTER all the way. Ha ha!!

Spaghetti - 300gms
Butter (NO OLIVE OIL) - 5 tbsp
Garlic - 2 tbsp
Onion - chopped fine - 1 large
Celery - 1 stalk - chopped fine
Capsicum - (all 3 colours) - 1/2 of each- chopped fine
Tomato - 1medium - chopped fine
Green peas - 5 tbsp
Lemon - 1 large
Salt
Chilli flakes - 1tbsp

Boil spaghetti in ample salted water until al dente. Drain and keep aside coated with (1tbsp) olive oil.

Heat the butter on a low flame and add the garlic, onion, celery and chilli flakes till onion gets translucent (cook on a low flame. So this will take about 5-8 minutes)
Add the green peas and sute for 1 minute. Add the capsicum and tomato. Cook on high flame for 1 minute.

Add the spaghetti and mix well. Taste. Add salt and lemon juice. Mix well and serve HOT.
