By Rachel - Silversurfers Assistant Editor Aug 26, 2016

It’s the Bank Holiday weekend – whether you’ve got big things planned or are just enjoying some extra time to yourself, if cooking is the last thing on your mind then we’re here to help. 

Who says you shouldn’t eat well even when you don’t have the energy to cook up a 4-course meal?

Today we’ve pulled together a few of our favourite pasta recipes that are delicious, hearty and make for easy showstoppers if you’re serving up family and friends this weekend.

Lemony Mushroom and Chicken Pasta

This Lemon Mushroom and Chicken pasta is quick and simple to make and is rich in flavour thanks to a zingy blend of garlic, lemon and chilli. You can easily make this dish vegetarian, too – simply omit the chicken for a lighter pasta dish, perfect for summer.

 

Fiery Asparagus and Chicken Pasta
