Cook’s Notes
We used 3 medium lemons and were able to squeeze the ¼ cup of juice. These lemons were juicy, but sometimes they’re a little dry, use more or less as needed.

Use more or less pepper, to taste. We only added about a ¼ teaspoon to the pasta and then served the dish with black pepper on the side so the adults could spice it up and my son was happy too.
