Rachel Ray says that her mother loves limoncello and she made this lemon pasta for her mom. My children love pasta in any form and they thought this was wonderful. I have to agree. Perfect for hot summer nights.

A perfect pasta recipe! Loved it! I made it as a side dish to simple baked chicken. You could probably add chicken right to the pasta. It was awesome!

    This is so good and easy to prepare. I didn't use the lemon zest only because I forgot it at the store. I used bottle lemon juice instead. I also used fat-free half and half for the heavy cream. I'm sure with the zest and the cream it would have been even better tasting but we enjoyed it as I prepared it. You really need to use the fresh herbs I believe to get the most flavor from this dish. I also dusted the top with additional cheese. Thanks Mary for Posting.

    I couldn't come be any fresh basil so I had to use some dried. My other change was to use fat free evaporated milk for the cream. The nice bit of heat from the pepper flakes was very nice. The one thing I feel I should mention is that I found the sauce completely absorbed quickly so that the pasta was essentially dry but it contained a lot of flavor. I rather liked this for a change instead having sloppy sauce. It's certainly a quick meal and I liked it very much.
