Barbara kafka’s creamy lemon pasta

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

This might be the most luxurious-feeling dinner you can conjure from near-thin air. It takes something like 15 minutes and three ingredients (no, not counting salt and pepper—you have those), and it sparkles in just about any situation you can hurl its way. It’s good for a dinner party, good for making the masses at the table happy, good for when you’re feeling off-kilter and need righting. It’s just good. <br />Adapted slightly from the <a href="https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/8355-creamy-lemon-pasta "><strong>New York Times</strong></a> (March 10, 1999).
