Pasta al Limone

This one is for the lemon lovers! A super simple, light, and creamy sauce perfect for summer!

Zesty, creamy, and seriously delicious! - happy customer

This three-ingredient sauce is so fresh and summery yet buttery and smooth like a pasta sauce is meant to be. An intense lemon flavour is perfectly balanced by the rich butter and salty fresh parmesan. Perfect with fettuccine or spaghetti but would also pair wonderfully with my roasted garlic and herb mini ravioli. With only a couple simple ingredients coming together in only a few minutes, you will be amazed at the elevated and gourmet dish you create!
