1 TBSP fresh thyme
1 cup Roasted Tomatoes
3 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup fresh basil, or dollops of pesto
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the lemon slices on the baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Roast for for 15 to 20 minutes or until they're golden brown around the edges.
Finely mince the lemons and set aside.
In the bottom of a medium-sized (cold) pot, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and 1/4 TSP sea salt.
Prepare the pasta according to the package directions, cooking until al dente.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water.
