This pasta dish is modeled on the spaghetti al pesto from a family farm in Amalfi, Italy. The lemons commonly available in the U.S. are more acidic than Amalfi’s lemons, so to make a lemon pesto that approximates the original. A small amount of sugar is added to temper the flavor. For extra citrus complexity, we add lemon zest to the pasta cooking water; the oils from the zest lightly perfume the spaghetti along with our Meyer Lemon Olive Oil, reinforcing the lemony notes of the pesto.
