I have to admit, I’m easily influenced by anything I see trending on Tiktok. Been reading Colleen Hoover books and making this viral Tiktok Lemon Pasta recipe. I even recently started sharing some of my recipes on Tiktok as well. Check out my page @jennarecipediaries!

INGREDIENTS FOR LEMON PASTA 

• Pasta - any long noodle such as fettuccine, linguine, or spaghetti will work. The original creator suggested vermicelli. 
• Oil
• Butter - preferably grass-fed butter
• Garlic
• Minced fresh garlic
• Fresh lemon juice
• Parmesan Cheese
• Fresh chopped parsley 

Lighter Options:

Use olive oil instead of butter to cut saturated fat.
Swap heavy cream for Greek yogurt or low-fat milk.
Use whole wheat pasta for extra fiber.

Optional Additional Toppings for Lemon Pasta: Freshly cooked shrimp or some salmon would be a nice protein to add to this pasta. It almost reminds me of shrimp scampi. 

Additional Items Needed: non-stick skillet, deep pot for cooking pasta 

HOW TO MAKE TIKTOK LEMON PASTA

• Cook linguini according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Reserve 1 ladle full of pasta water on the side. Drain. Place linguini in a medium bowl. 
• While linguini cooks, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. 
• When the butter has melted add in the lemon juice, reserved pasta water, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Be careful because the pan is really hot and the oil and butter might splatter. 
• Transfer the noodles to the pan and toss to coat. 
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and use garnish with fresh parsley. 

Lemon Pasta Recipe FAQS

• This dish is good by itself but to make it a full meal, I’d serve with some freshly cooked shrimp or salmon. Add some cooked vegetables like broccoli or green beans on the side. 
• What is lemon sauce made of? 
• This lemon sauce is made of olive oil, butter, freshly squeezed lemon juice, pasta water, garlic, and cheese. There is no heavy cream involved and it gets super creamy with just the olive oil and butter. 
• Hasn’t Lemon Pasta already been done before? 
• Some Tiktok recipes are so funny because the newer generations just like to rename the original recipe and call it something else. Like GiGi Hadid’s Pasta sauce is really just a simple vodka sauce recipe. Right? It’s just famous because it went viral on Tiktok. 😉
