THIS MESS IS OURS
I love citrus fruit and Meyer lemons which means this Gluten Free Roasted Meyer Lemon and Brown Butter Pasta is on repeat for as long as I can get my hands on them.
I dressed each dish with a smattering of savory sprinkles right at the table: toasted pine nuts, basil, and Meyer lemon zest
If you've never had a Meyer lemon before, you're probably wondering what makes them so special?! Meyer lemons are one of my all time favorite citrus fruits! These soft-skinned beauties are significantly sweeter and less acidic than traditional lemons, which are super-sour.
While we love the roasted Meyer lemon, broccoli, and cauliflower in this dish tossed with pasta, you could also just serve them tossed with brown butter sauce on their own as a decadent side dish.
