Creamy Cheesy Lemon Paprika Pasta
Inroduction
About this Recipe
By: Caitlin Greene
I made another super easy lunch yesterday and I cannot get enough of it! The sauce is super easy to make and just requires one bowl! In the recipe, you can choose regular Greek yogurt or dairy-free Greek yogurt and the same goes to the parmesan cheese. What I love about these easy lunches is that you can add whatever else you want with it. I added smoked salmon, avocados and dill, but you can switch them up and add what you want.
