So, this is an unpopular opinion, buuuttt... I’m not a huge pasta fan. I don’t mind it, but I don’t think it’s something I ever really crave 🤷‍♀️ But I found myself pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this dish as it came together! The sauce is creamy but not too heavy, and has a nice tang from the lemon. And although I served it warm, I think it would taste just as fantastic cold. And it whips up quickly- perfect for a weeknight dinner!


I hope you love this as much as my I did, even with my ‘meh’ attitude towards pasta 😉

    What can be used as a substitute for the ricotta cheese? I'm not really a fan of it...
