One thing I love about coming home is eating my mom’s cooking! This week, my mom taught me some of her specialties including her coveted oven-roasted rosemary garlic rack of lamb! Best served alongside her Aglio e olio pasta, this dish is on repeat weekly in our household. If you are looking for a super easy recipe to make this weekend that you can prepare ahead of time, you have to try this oven roasted rack of lamb! It is soooo good and always a crowd pleaser!

HOW TO COOK RACK OF LAMB:
In a food processor, add in your olive oil, rosemary, thyme and lemons zest, pulse until finely chopped.
Salt and Pepper rack of lamb on both sides before covering in marinade and setting aside for 1 hour at room temperature on a baking sheet.
When ready, set oven to 450 and cook lamb for 15 minutes before rotating the baking sheet and continuing to cook for 10 minutes to ensure it cooks evenly and to medium rare. If you have a meat thermometer, for medium rare lamb the internal temperature should be at 130-140 degrees.
When meat is ready, remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before chopping it up into individual portions. This will allow the juice to redistribute.
Plate and serve.
Enjoy!
