Frizzled Lemon & Artichoke Pasta

This may be more of an adult pasta with lots of briney, strong flavors almost mimicking a warm pasta salad with all the produce. We browned up some Italian sausage on the side for the protein lovers; the picky one had plain noodles with butter and pesto that I always have on hand.

A Meyer lemon has a thinner skin, so the pith makes the dish less bitter. If you can’t find one, definitely skip sautéing it into the pasta, and finish the whole dish with fresh lemon juice at the end to avoid that bitterness.
