I'm not a huge fan of lemon, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The sauce was actually really good and I didn't find it to be too sour.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra ingredients to give it more flavor. I usually add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a bit of red pepper flakes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauce turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a well-made dish.
