Linguine al Limone is an Italian pasta dish popular for its bright and zesty flavors. It incorporates linguine pasta that has been added to a creamy lemon-incorporated sauce. The sauce is often made with ingredients such as fresh lemon zest, lemon juice, butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. This results in a rich flavor that coats the pasta and creates a refreshing dish. Garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley adds a finishing touch to this simple yet flavorful recipe.
