  • Don't overcook the pasta. Capellini is a delicate pasta that can easily be overcooked. Cook it according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (tender, but still slightly firm to the bite).
  • Grate the lemon zest finely. This will help to release the oils and flavor of the lemon zest.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice can be bitter and harsh. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is brighter and more flavorful.
  • Stir the caviar gently into the pasta. Caviar is a delicate ingredient, so it's important to stir it gently to avoid breaking it up.
