Roasted Broccoli Lemon Spaghetti Carbonara

Spaghetti carbonara with a healthy spring twist! These easy noodles are extra-creamy and loaded with roasted broccoli and lots of lemon goodness.

It’s a Monday thing, guys. Pasta. Carbs. Roasty-toasty green goodness. Just go with it.

So it’s been awhile since we’ve done noodles around here. Exactly two weeks if you want to be precise. In other words, like two million weeks if we’re talking noodle weeks here.

What’s a noodle-aholic to do? Make a dang awesome spaghetti carbonara and shove it all in your face on the longest day of the entire week, which is obvi Monday.

We make good life choices around here, peeps. We’re really, really smart with our carbs. 😀

Hence, the fact that we’re doing CARB-onara today. You’ve just gotta love word destiny like that.

The thing is though, guys. I brought you spaghetti carbonara minus all that carb guilt. Lots of green to balance everything out.

Balance, guys, BALANCE. Green does that. See here, here, and here for all the proof you need.

Plus lemon + roasty-toasty garlicky broccoli + noodles = one very glorious, guilt-free pot of SPRING-themed carb-o-mania that, let’s face it: we’re all wishing we could faceplant into as of right now.

These = a legit pot ‘o spring. At this time, I’d like to invite you to drool. It’s A-OK.

I can’t even handle this spaghetti carbonara, guys…I just can’t…it’s too perfect and I’m too in love to say much more so I think we should just get on with our carb-shoveling business.

I’m taking the faceplant dive first, friends. You can join me when you’re ready for your Monday to be made.

Seriously, I’m going now. Come with me!!
