In reply to Paula Wilk. Paula, That tree sounds wonderfulL! I have a small one in a pot inside as unfortunately do not live in a climate where it can stay outside. Love the idea of throwing the lemon rind into the pot! Happy summer, Michele

I LOVE lemons and this recipe sounds amazing! I would take the part of the lemons that are being thrown away and add them to the pasta water for an extra lemony flavor. I have a lemon tree that I have grown from seed from a lemon I got in Sicily. No fruit yet, but it can take 3-7 years to produce fruit I also make lemoncello

In reply to johnkraynak. Hi John! Almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts would all work. Almonds would be my second choice - classic Sicilian. Thanks for commenting!

Hey Michele. I always love seeing photos of you, Joe and Mark in Italy. Can you think of another nut to sprinkle on top? My bf is allergic to pistachios. Thanks.

The recipe sounds delicious! I visited Italy for the first time this year, and was able to meet and share a lovely meal with cousins I’d never met. I hope to return some day. Your trip sounds like it must have been magical!
