Linguine with Green Olive Sauce and Zesty Breadcrumbs Recipe M Loves M @marmar
The other week I made the most incredible pasta for dinner. Pasta is always one of my weaknesses but this one definitely stood out. There’s a briny taste from the olives and capers, and a brightness from the lemon. I especially loved the panko crunch on top. This pasta was so good that I immediately texted my parents telling them to make it, and of course now I’m making it again for the blog. I’d highly recommend this for a yummy dinner. It’s easy enough to make during the week too, or it would be perfect for a date night at home complete with red wine and candles!

Linguine with Green Olive Sauce and Zesty Breadcrumbs 
from Bon Appétit June 2015
makes 4 servings

INGREDIENTS
1 Tbsp. plus 1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
12 oz. linguine or other long pasta
4 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1 small garlic clove
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 cup green olives, pilled and halved 
3 Tbsp. drained capers
1/2 oz. Parmesan cheese, finely grated (about 1/2 cup), plus more for serving
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
DIRECTIONS
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium and cook panko, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to paper towels to drain and toss with dill and lemon zest. 
Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, mash anchovies and garlic to a pasta on a cutting board with the side of a chef’s knife. Combine with parsley, basil, and half of olives and capers in a large bowl. Chop remaining olive and capers and add to bowl, along with remaining 1/2 cup oil. Mix well; season sauce with salt and pepper.
Add pasta and 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid to sauce. Toss, adding Parmesan a bit at a time, along with more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce coats pasta. Add lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
Serve pasta topped with panko and more Parmesan cheese.
Do Ahead: Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against surface, and chill.

pink cashmere sweater top with ivory skirt M Loves M @marmar
This skirt {part of the matching set I wore last week!} is already coming in handy! I paired it with a pink sweater top and some fun sandals for an afternoon in Manhattan Beach. I love heels but sometimes a girl just has to be comfy! These flats have a pretty suede tie detail and I love the criss-cross ankle straps! Also, a touch of metallic is always a good thing!

This weekend was so fun! I celebrated one of my best friend’s birthdays in Las Vegas. I’m not usually into Vegas trips {for many reasons} but I loved the idea of celebrating one of my favorite girls with pool time, good restaurants, and some shopping! The weather was kind of weird because it rained off and on {with thunderstorms and lightening too!} but the clouds were a nice buffer from the sun. It was still hot but not totally unbearable. The one thing I’ll be catching up on this week is lots of sleep, though!
Have a great day everyone!

The Friday Five with grid dress, aqua gladiator sandals, straw fedora and nars lipstick M Loves M @marmar
Summer outfits are all about being comfortable and casual! A CLASSIC DENIM JACKET will be a staple in your wardrobe for years, or until you’re ready for a little bit of an update. I wear my denim jacket at least a few times a week.
A STRAW FEDORA HAT like this one will keep your eyes and face protected from the harsh summer sun. It’s another summer must-have accessory! 
I think this SLEEVELESS GRID DRESS is super cute! The grid pattern is so fun and the silhouette is comfortable and easy to wear.
I’d pair this jacket and dress combo with a pair of bright GLADIATOR SANDALS in a fun shade, and a pretty PEACH/NUDE LIPSTICK.
Is there anything you’re shopping for this weekend? 
Make sure to take advantage of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale before prices go up on Monday!
