One of the easiest pasta dishes you’ll ever make, this lemon spaghetti is great as a light meal or as a side dish, especially for grilled fish. This dish was inspired by a famous pasta in Capri, and it’s quickly become a fan favorite both online and in my restaurants – it’s the #1 seller at my restaurant, GIADA, in Las Vegas!
