Great recipe! 🍋 Lemony, creamy, and absolutely delicious.

Tasty! I wouldn’t use quite as much cornstarch next time as my sauce thickened very quickly.

Sooo yummy 🤩

Very easy to make! The sauce came up a bit bland though.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the pasta, Nikki! In case it helps, a lemon for us usually yields around 30 mL (2 Tbsp) of lemon juice. If you have any leftovers, adding more lemon juice or zest could help brighten it 🌞

So good!!

So delicious! I am not a huge fan of anything lemon. However, I had all of the ingredients for this simple recipe but a lemon, so I decided to give it a try, especially as I am a huge fan of roasted chickpeas. This dish was incredible! My husband didn’t except to like the chickpeas as he isn’t a fan of them, but he really enjoyed them roasted. He was saying how we had to make it again already and he could’ve served himself three more bowls, but he didn’t want to leave me with no leftovers for later.

This is so lovely to hear, Aileen! Thrilled you both enjoyed it, even with the lemon twist. Roasted chickpeas really do win hearts. 😊

Really delicious. I added lemon infused olive oil and it was divine
Chrysiida - April 6, 2025, 8:53 a.m.
Nice and creamy, but I felt like something was missing... The lemon taste wasn't as strong as I would have thought, so it turned out a bit bland...

My partner and I loved it! And it was really easy to whip up too ☺️🍋
Lauren - March 30, 2025, 3:02 p.m.
Great recipe! Added some broccolini and spinach and couldn’t get enough of the chickpeas. It was slightly heavy for my taste, but I think with a little less sauce it would be perfect!
PUL Team - March 30, 2025, 3:59 p.m.
Ooo love the idea to add broccolini and spinach! Thanks, Lauren ☺️
Carly - March 27, 2025, 2:30 a.m.
So delicious! We made it with gluten free egg fettuccine noodles and squeezed a good bit of lemon over the top to bring out the lemon flavors.
Jasmin - March 26, 2025, 1:26 p.m.
Delicious! I also added a little bit of dried thyme.
PUL Team - March 27, 2025, 4 p.m.
Mmm love this idea, Jasmin, thanks a bunch 🫶

It was a lovely family friendly recipe. We even added some foraged wild garlic to it! Thank you!

Creamy, lemony, quick and easy to make, and most importantly, absolutely delicious! Will definitely be making this pasta again 🍋
