This was super quick and delicious! My family loved it. I used this yummy sauce over bowtie pasta and spinach. I don't usually have fresh lemons on hand so I used bottled lemon juice (1/3 cup) and store bought lemon zest (1 tsp) which made this recipe even easier. I did use the fresh garlic. It gave the sauce a really lovely flavor. Thanks GailAnn.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
