Lemon Chicken Pasta is one of our regular favourite dishes. This recipe is based on several different versions that we have come across over the years and has been modified to make it much easier to prepare and cook. Some versions recommend much more lemon, some less, but we think that the sweet to sour balance of this version is the best. Do not try adding too much lemon, particularly if they have a thick pith, it can make the dish slightly bitter. This dish can use several types of pasta, just choose your own favourite short type such as fusili, radiatore or the like. Serve with a light dry Italian red wine such as Chianti Ruffina. |
