It's funny that this thread popped up again. Just two days ago, out of the blue, I decided to make some homemade fettuccine with lemon zest added to the dough. It turned out to have a nice flavor and messed very little with the texture. All that was detectable was little lumps where the zest was, which would be expected. I made two pounds of pasta and used the zest from one small lemon, which was a bit light for what I was going for. But again...it turned out nice.

I topped it with a traditional Alfredo sauce, compliments to Alfredo di Lelio. I've made pasta a couple of times in the past, but I'm currently trying to force myself to get more comfortable making it. Hopefully to get to the point where I don't hesitate to make fresh pasta/noodles with any dish.

I've had a lemon pepper pasta before. It would be good with grilled chicken or fish. Alfredo sauce too.

That's what happens when you apprentice in an Italian place and your first Sous gig is French menu catering. Cross Mojonation.

Do you mean lemon pepper in the noodle dough, or . . . ?

I want to try some Asian dishes that originated in japan, singapore, philippines, and india. I don't have any idea yet. But I try some tofu burger.
