Recipe modifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Lemon juice:<\/strong> You can add more or less lemon juice to the sauce, but in my opinion, the juice of a whole lemon for a two portions is the maximum. Of course, it all depends on the juiciness and size of the lemon. If you don’t like sour dishes, use the juice of about \u00bd lemon. You can always sprinkle the pasta with lemon juice if the dish is not sour enough for you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Additions:<\/strong> Not only asparagus goes well with lemon sauce, you can replace or add to the sauce: fried shrimps, chicken, cherry tomatoes, zucchini or serve just pasta with the sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Water:<\/strong> Pasta water contains starch and salt. Starch will thicken the sauce and salt will add flavor. Remember to pour a glass of the pasta water so that you can add it to the sauce if necessary. If you have poured out all the pasta water, mix a pinch of starch with a little cold water. Once the starch is mixed with water, add boiling water. Mix and add to the egg mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Spices: <\/strong>Pasta in lemon sauce is aromatic thanks to the addition of lemon juice and zest. You don’t need a lot of spices that could overpower the lemon flavor. All you need is salt and pepper, a lot of pepper, preferably coarsely ground straight from the grinder \ud83d\ude09. You can also add a little more garlic if you want. To decorate, you can add a few leaves of fresh basil or parsley, which go great with citrus fruits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t
