Calling all lemon lovers! Lemon Pepper Pappardelle is right up your alley. If you don’t love lemon, keep moving on. Must. Love. Lemon. I found this gorgeous pappardelle in Trader Joe’s, flavored with lemon and pepper. It’s subtle and pungent all at once. Toss it with fresh chopped asparagus and grilled honey balsamic chicken for a fresh twist on a pasta dish.
