Citrus Bow Tie Pasta
4

Serves 4 to 6

Thanks to the reader who sent in the recipe for this pasta dish full of bright and unexpected flavors. She says, "My kids and I can whip this up in ten minutes! They love to take it for lunch." Sounds like a great idea to us. The garlic-infused oil adds a delicate flavor; look for specialty oils in our grocery aisles.
