I always find September and May to be super-busy months, thus I need a recipe that super-easy and super-delicious. This recipe works well for a hot dish at dinner or a cold dish for lunch leftovers. It's adapted from one I saw on the Today Show.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup olive oil
• 2/3 cup parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 lb farfalle pasta
• 1/3 cup basil
• 3/4 cup pine nuts or slivered almonds

Instructions
1) Cook pasta until it's al dente.
2) Mix together olive oil, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and basil.
3) Pour liquid over pasta and toss with pine nuts or almonds.
