Pink Pasta for #Dinner {#vegan #dairyfree}

Yes, pink pasta...are you intrigued? It is a fun and as Alena & Mia Rosie say "easy, peasy, lemon squeezy", dish.  Perfect for the start into the weekend to end a busy week, and oh so pretty.

Beautiful streaks of pink meet delicious linguine....So what is it? Are you ready for this?  Do you want to guess? Yes?!  Okay - I will let you know it is essentially Pasta alio e olio with a twist...
