Luckily this yummy Lemon and Sage Pasta is the perfect solution to my lazy summer cooking style. Not only is it absolutely delicious, it requires simple fresh ingredients. It is perfectly yummy all by itself, but it is also great served with grilled chicken, steak or shrimp for an effortless meal your whole family will love!
