I love lemon peel so this recipe appealed to me. Made for family and even used gluten free pasta with great results.
Amazing!! All we did differently was add shallots instead of green onions.
The fresh basil and grated lemon peel really made the difference. It was light, and very flavorful. One hint, when you drain the pasta to add the remaining ingredients, keep it off the heat. Otherwise It will get sticky and try to dry out.
My husband and I had this with chicken piccata and homemade garlic bread. It was very good! I will definitely be making this again.
This pasta dish was excellent! I used dried basil instead of fresh (4 tsp.), and it came out great! My husband and 12 year old son both said they really liked it a lot. It makes a lot, too. Very yummy. I served it with a pork roast and gravy, but I think we'll use up the leftovers with chicken. I think it would go with just about anything!
I had to change this recipe a little b/c I didn't have lemons, but I did have oranges :) Still delicious!
