Pasta with lemons

4 servings

15 minutes

Lemon pasta is a refined dish of Italian cuisine that combines delicate creamy notes with refreshing citrus acidity. This recipe draws inspiration from the sunny coast of Italy, where lemons are used in many traditional dishes. Cazarecce perfectly absorbs the rich creamy sauce enriched with the aroma of lemon zest and freshly squeezed juice. Parmesan adds depth and piquancy to the dish, while salt and black pepper harmoniously highlight all flavor nuances. Served hot, this dish is delightful as a standalone treat or paired with white wine. Its simplicity makes it an ideal choice for a cozy dinner or a light festive table.
