One-Pan Lemon Garlic Chicken and Vegetables
This recipe is perfect for those who want a hearty and healthy meal with minimal cleanup. Everything cooks in one pan, making it ideal for busy travelers.

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups of broccoli florets
1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken breasts on one side of a large baking sheet.

Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables.
Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, and pepper evenly over everything.
Place lemon slices on top of the chicken and vegetables.

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
This classic Italian pasta dish is incredibly simple yet bursting with flavor. It requires only a few ingredients and can be prepared in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients:
8 oz (225g) spaghetti
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté until the garlic is golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic oil.
If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if desired.
