This lemon pepper acini di pepe is a bright and refreshing vegetarian dish that transforms tiny pasta grains into a sophisticated, silky meal. By emulsifying nutty Parmigiano-Reggiano with starchy cooking water and a hint of butter, you create a delicate sauce that clings perfectly to the pasta. The addition of fresh lemon zest provides a citrus lift, while plenty of freshly ground black pepper adds a gentle, warming heat to every mouthful.
Perfect as a light midweek dinner or a sophisticated side dish, this recipe relies on simple, high-quality cupboard staples. It is particularly wonderful when served alongside roasted Mediterranean vegetables or a crisp green salad. Because acini di pepe cooks so quickly, this comforting bowl of pasta is an excellent choice for those seeking a nutritious, homemade meal that can be on the table in less than fifteen minutes.
