This creamy + decadent lemon ricotta pasta dish is a summer pasta favorite. Bright, zesty and full of flavor, it's a versatile dish that pairs well with chicken or seafood, veggies or herbs. You can make this dish using gluten free pasta but since we use two pans, you can also use the same sauce for the non-gluten free folks in your home!
