My Favourite Italian Lemon Sauce for Pasta {Lethbridge Food Photography}

After my trip to Italy, I was on a mission to recreate the Pasta al Limone lemon sauce that I had on the Island of Capri but plant-based.

Here is my version of plant-based Lemoncello Primavera.

This recipe and more of my recipes are also found on @earthlingspantry on Instagram. I've made this sauce several times, even using it in a spinach lasagna once.  It was so tasty.

 

Fettuccini pasta cooked in salted water according to package directions. (a large handful)

Sauté a pan full of your favourite chopped or sliced vegetables. (salt to taste) (Use a large pan)  If I want to throw in tomatoes, I don't sauté the tomatoes, I throw them in chopped and uncooked at the end.

Have a bunch of fresh basil on-hand, roughly chopped.

Make lemon sauce.

Lemon sauce:
 
1/3 c butter or vegan butter
Zest and juice of 2 large lemons. 
Cook together in pan for about 5 minutes, but don't let it brown or burn.
 
Add 1/2 cup lemoncello liquor
 
Bring to a rolling boil for 2-3 minutes
 
Mix together 3 cups of cashew milk with 1/4 cup cornstarch mixed into it while still cold.
 
Add milk mixture to lemoncello mixture with 1-2 teas salt, or to taste.
 
Stir well while it boils and thickens, scraping the bottom of the pan.  When a bit thickened and bubbly, remove from heat.
 
Add the cooked pasta and the sauce to the vegetables, stir and heat through.
 
Add the fresh basil.
 
(The lemon-basil bite is to die for.)
 
Enjoy!!
