When I stumbled upon a Lemon Pasta recipe a few days ago, the whole concept seemed so unusual and intriguing to me that I just knew I had to try it.
And the result?
Absolutely gorgeous!
This simple dish is full of nicely balanced bright flavors. The combination of lemon and garlic is a match made in heaven. And the addition of Parmesan cheese brings just about anything to a whole different level of the greatest kind.
Simple, refreshing, satisfying. I wholeheartedly recommend this meal to you.
You can find all the necessary details below.
Enjoy!
