Lemon Peel Pesto Pasta

Let’s take a trip to the Amalfi coast, the air heavy with the scent of lemons basking in the sun, the sea glistening in the distance. You pick a few fresh lemons, then pick up some locally made pasta and the freshest ricotta you’ve ever tasted and head back to your beautiful kitchen to make this sensational dish.

Now, back to reality. If you are not spending your summer in Amalfi, this recipe is the next best thing. With just 15 minutes you can make this gorgeous lemon peel ricotta pesto which is absolutely gorgeous, just like you are.
