    My kids love this! I use with leftover roast chicken and dried oregano, because I didn't have parsley on hand. I also cut back on the lemon to just half of one the second time I made this.

    I've made this about 3 times and I love it. Super easy and delicious! Sometimes I throw in some pine nuts and julienned carrots and bell peppers for color and crunch.

    Used home made lemon noddles and found this excellent. Would try a little less lemon juice. Will continue to make as very simple and very tasty.
