Cook's Note:

One of my favorite Italian meals is lemon pasta. I just love the crisp and refreshing taste of it. It's super easy to make and it's versatile in that it's delicious with either chicken or shrimp. I love that it's nutritious too.

Can also be covered and refrigerated, if making ahead.

This dish gets better when refrigerated for a few hours to allow flavors to come together.
