Lemon

Sauces, lemon, and herbs add flavor to cooked pasta.  Plain pasta is boring and tasteless if prepared without seasonings. A lemon sauce adds delicious flavor. Try lemon sauce with other side dishes and vegetables such as string beans or cooked carrots. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil.

Lemon juice makes a great substitute for salt.  Add lemon zest to intensify flavor.  Zest is the yellow part of the lemon peel. A tool called a zester is used to remove the peel, or it can be scraped with a fine grater. Be careful not to include the white material under the yellow peel, as it is bitter.
