Sometimes we happen to improvise a recipe by using just a few basic ingredients. This pasta is one of these, which sees the lemon as the main ingredient, to create a zesty and fresh dish great for the upcoming summer. At the end we added some chilli flakes to this lemony pasta, and it won’t disappoint!
Thanks to our dear friend Danila for sharing this amazing recipe with us.
