Lemon pasta

I just had the most yummy lunch that I've had for ages! It is variation of Victoria's Super Lemony Pasta.
I had whole wheat penne and my sauce was made with cream, butter, feta cheese, black pepper, freshly pressed lemon juice of course (no greated rind as the lemons we just have are not biologically grown) and as I don't have any parsley this year (don't know what went wrong as all plants grew like weed last year) I sprinkeled it with a handfull of chopped chives/lemon melisse/mint.
It was too yummy to be real!!! I regretted not having made enough for a second plate - but it is very filling so it was enough.
Definitely worth a try if you like lemon and white creamy pasta sauces and definitly a keeper for me!

Thanks for coming over!

  2. That sounds heavenly! I made Lemon pasta about two years ago, I loved it, but none of my family members did, so that's why I'm not repeating this lovely pasta dish. Too bad though.

  3. Thank you! Monika, I am not sure if Sweetheart will love this dish, but there are enough days I am alone for lunch and can make it for me. Same with the watermelon-cucumber-salad I posted about or "Kochkäse" with onion-dressing and potatoes...

  11. Thank you for your lovely comments! I just posted about something I found somewhere else, changed it a bit and loved it that way and I get that many comments! Credit goes to Victoria, on her blog you can also see some pictures of her variation. My lunch was eaten and the plate licked before I even thought of taking pictures for the blog...

  12. Tina...all these comments are wonderful!! I think using feta is a great idea! yum yum...my mom made this for my dad, he ate about half and decided he didn't like it...all the more for me...said my mom! :) glad you loved it!!

  13. Victoria, this is definitely a combination of flavours that you just like or dont't like. But I think it is perfect for a hot summer day with its sour touch.
