Lemon Tagliatelle

JenPo's Note:

This is definitely for those who enjoy lemony dishes. Very refreshing and lighter tasting than most cream pastas. Sometimes I use a bit less lemon zest and add torn basil leaves.

Great recipe from FWDGF. I made it tonight and I was going to post it when i found you already had! Great and easy recipe.

Luscious! We love lemon and this certainly fit the bill. Unable to find either tagliatelle or prepared creme fraiche, I worked around those obstacles by using egg fettuccine and making my own Creme Fraiche . I was concerned that the sauce would break with boiling but the directions were right on - it was creamy and perfect. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!

This is from the book French Women Don't get Fat and it is TO DIE FOR! I have made this so many times and it is indeed the easiest thing in the world to prepare, but people think you are a brilliant cook when they try it! If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would! Thanks for the post...you saved me the trouble!
