The lemon juice in this was outstanding! Made it very fresh tasting, and good enough for my BF to urge me to go for 5 stars. Since we like a larger sauce to pasta ratio, I only used 6 ounces pasta and the whole amount of sauce for the two of us. I also saved some extra calories by using less than 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 4 ounces feta cheese. Otherwise no changes. Thanks! Great recipe!
