  1. Made this last night and hubby loved it! Easy directions and good detail on how this comes together. We added gulf pink shrimps (prepped separate with garlic/butter) once pasta was complete. Just fabulous! New subscriber. Thanks!

  2. Thanks, I'll try it. I have one question though, why do you state volumes in English then weight in grams for the amount of the ingredient? The one exception was a pound or 454 grams of pasta. Weight vs weight. Most were of the 3 tablespoons or 145 grams volume vs weight? Can you explain where my knowledge is deficient? Thanks again, love the video.

  3. Chefs don't salt the real broth they make until it's applied in a particular recipe and commercial broths all have different salt levels. We have all had a sea water splashed in our face at the beach, so that's a more universal description. Also, if pasta is cooked al dente, it wouldn't be spending too much time in salted water. There is also a chance to taste the saltiness of the water before adding the pasta, just to be safe.

  4. I’m always amazed at how many chefs don’t know the proper way to use a citrus zester. Zester on top, fruit on the bottom, and then you can see what you are doing and avoid the pith and the zest is captured in the tunnel of the zester. Good recipe though.

  5. 3:36 Chef Billy, I have an equipment recommendation for you: oval pasta pots. Bialetti makes them, but there are several brands out there. They're wide enough for you to drop in long pasta horizontally, without having to poke and prod it to get it to fit. It saves time and hassle, and ensures that the entire pasta gets the same amount of cook time, without half of it getting a minute more of exposure to boiling water like when you have to poke and prod it as it softens.

  6. Chef Billy, at 3:32 you repeat the adage that pasta water should be as salty as the ocean, but this is a misconception that really needs to be retired. Ideal pasta water should be about as salty as chicken broth, and no more than that. That's about 1% salinity. The ocean is about 3% salinity on average. That is WAY TOO SALTY. Try it sometime. Make some salty pasta water that is as salty as the ocean, and cook pasta in it. You will find the pasta to be inedibly salty. Do not salt pasta water as salty as the ocean. Stop at broth level salinity, especially if you're going to use any pasta water as part of the sauce.

  7. I want to thank you very much for this recipe. I just got back from Princess Discovery Cruise ship. and I ate at this restaurant called the 360. They served lemon pasta just like it. this tastes just like it. I am so happy I just made it and it was perfect thank you again
