On days when the hustle and bustle of life doesn't leave much room for culinary adventures, a lazy market lunch can be a saving grace. The second installment in our Lazy Market Lunch series features a dish that's as simple to make as it is delicious - Spaghetti with Halloumi.
Quick and Easy Spaghetti with Halloumi Recipe
Imagine a lunch that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum satisfaction. This Spaghetti with Halloumi recipe does just that:
- Start by boiling spaghetti in salted water according to package instructions.
- While the pasta cooks, sauté halloumi cheese in a nonstick pan over high heat, allowing 2-3 minutes for the first side, then flipping for another 1-2 minutes.
- Enhance the halloumi with cracked black pepper, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and the zest of about a tbsp of lemon juice, allowing it to reduce for a minute.
- Drain the spaghetti and transfer to a bowl, drizzle with high-quality extra virgin olive oil, and top with the golden halloumi.
- For an added touch of green and flavor, serve with a few spears of asparagus.
Voila! You have a tasty, satisfying lunch with minimal fuss, perfect for those days when you want to balance market visits and work.
