Fettuccine with Lemon Sauce is an amazing Italian recipe that has such a clean flavour. The sauce includes beef stock/broth, lemon juice and lime zest, cream and butter. These ingredients creates a sauce I would happily pour into a bowl and eat on it’s own with crusty bread. However, add it to al dente fettuccine and you have a lovely main dish suitable for all occasions.
