The Often-Wasted Ingredient That Helps Revitalize Your Go-To Pasta
BY Kat Lieu
Instead of discarding lemon peels, consider zesting them and using the zest to revitalize your pasta dishes. You can mix lemon zest directly into the pasta or use it as a garnish.
The zest will add a yellow hue and tang to your dish without overpowering it with acidity. It can also cut through creamy sauces and balance out the fishy flavors of seafood pasta.
When adding lemon zest to pasta for the first time, it's best to incorporate it in lemon pasta dishes. From there, try adding it to other pasta dishes for a bright, citrusy twist.
