"I made this recently and loved it, so I wanted to share. I got it from RecipeGirl blog. This is what she has to say about it: Serve this baked lemon spaghetti it up on its own with a crisp little side salad, or grab a rotisserie chicken and add that to your dinner table too. The pasta comes out of the oven with a light Parmesan crust baked on top. The lemony flavor in this spaghetti is wonderful on its own, but lemon-lovers may wish to squeeze an extra wedge or two on individual servings, as desired. The sauce is not overwhelmingly creamy- just a light coating to give the pasta a bit of flavor and zest. I envision adding mushrooms or bacon too. Enjoy. Great to serve with roasted chicken and a vegetable for an easy and delicious dinner idea. Tips: *Serve pasta with lemon wedges, for those who like some extra tang in their pasta. *Try adding sliced mushrooms into the dish... saute them with the butter and garlic. *Try adding cooked bacon. Everything is better with bacon! *This spaghetti is also great when served as a side dish to roasted chicken. *If you'd like the finished dish to turn out a little bit creamier- just use less pasta."
