I LOVE this sauce. It is easy to make and taste light and fresh.
This is the perfect sauce to pour over your favorite fresh pasta like linguini, gnocchi or orecchiette. It is very versatile, so get creative with it. You can even use it to top roasted eggplant, pizza, fish or steak. The options are endless.
