Only a few short weeks of summer left and I am feeling the urge to make a delicious summer pasta. I can’t think of any better combination than lemon and pepper! These flavors are commonly used to spice up all kinds of meats and fish, so why not lemon-pepper fettuccini?

This lemon-pepper fettuccini is light with the essence of lemon juice and black pepper. You can use it as a delicious main course or side it with your favorite steak or chicken. You don’t need to spend lots of money on gourmet flavored lemon-pepper pasta, you can make it right at home!

This recipe is super fast and easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. The flavor is unique and lemony with a minimal garlic essence as not to overpower, just one small clove added. Freshly grated black pepper takes it up a notch to deliver that full-bodied flavor!

Garnish this dish with Pecorino Romano cheese and parsley as these always seem to give food that fresh summer flair, so sprinkle away!
