lemon-dill pasta with green beans and parmesan
This post is going to be short. I have a lot of stories I would love to share with you all from the last few days up at the farm. However, tonight my brain is shot. My fingernails are still currently filled with dirt (my keyboard can attest to that!) My hair is in knots, and the sunburn on my shoulders could use some aloe vera STAT!
I know I am not alone. Many of you probably feel the same way. It’s only Tuesday and the workweek has just begun. Deep breaths!
My two dates for the evening pooped out pretty early. Too much sun and dirt can really take it out of a couple of guys!
At least they are resting peacefully with bellies full of healthy pasta!
This recipe is very simple, but don’t let that fool you. This was the BEST pasta dish we have made in ages.

Looks like a great meal after an exhausting day!
That picture with your dog is SO cute! Totally me 99% of my nights, on the floor with one of my cats. I love using fresh dill — I think it’s totally underappreciated and I’m glad for a recipe where it can shine!
Delicious and so easy to make I added mushrooms to it too
Thank you
This sounds awesome! Last time we grew green beans, I had an entire row of them and I pickled, canned and froze them. Not once did I make pasta! Awesome!
When I saw the title I thought how I like dill and hardly ever use it. After that I tought how great you paired it with lemon. Pasta, herbs and lemon, it´s way better than it appears to be. Enjoy the long summer days, even if they`re tiring! And this gorgeous plate of pasta!
I have all these ingredients in my fridge/pantry right now! It’s fate. 😉
Hoping you guys can get the rest you need!
Aww lookit you guys all tuckered out! 😉 Your pasta looks awesome, girly! I love dill and lemon and could use a nice bowl of veggie pasta!
Mmm lemon and parmesan is one of my favorite combos. This looks perfect for summer, even for those of us who sit behind a desk all day!
Aww, doggy cuddle time is the best!! 🙂
This pasta sounds truly amazing! I love dill and everything else about this dish, really. That picture of your husband and Henry is so cute. If all else fails, hug the dog! Hope you got some rest and that the aloe vera did the job.
Simple and delicious and filling. That’s what we all need, I think! And there is nothing like hard work and sun…I’m surprised you’re able to stand after all the work you put in each day. I so admire you, sweet girl! Thank you for sharing! I hope you have had a more restful day today!
I cant even imagine how exhausted you guys must be! This pasta sounds like the perfect fuel. I really don’t cook with dill enough!
Ooh, I’m growing dill and I never know what to do with it–I’m totally going to make this!
Made this tonight!! Had to sub asparagus for the green beans, but it was amazing! And so easy!!!! Perfect….thank you!
Great recipe; looks amazing – great pictures!
Aww, doggies! 🙂
Ha! They are just the cutest, and that pasta does sound wonderful. I have some green beans in the garden and will have to use them up with this 🙂
Made this the other night & it was amazing! I didn’t have green beans, but I use asparagus & zucchini. SO yummy!
I’m so happy you liked it! Thanks for the comment!
I found this recipe today while searching for a way to use fresh dill that didn’t involve salmon! I didn’t have green beans so I substituted spinach and it was delicious! The sauce was so simple and I had dinner on the table in under 20 minutes. And, it was so delicious that there are no leftovers!
I made it and it was absolutely delicious! The flavours were crisp and refreshing. Thank you!
Could you do this with pickled silky beans?
