A couple of years ago, I was eating at Souplantation when they were having a promotional "Lemon Month" and one of the lemon dishes they served was pasta with lemon caper cream sauce. It was so delicious that I went back to Souplantation 2 more times in the same week to eat that pasta! Then I realized it would probably by really easy to make at home (and that I probably shouldn't be eating at a buffet restaurant 3 times a week). So, this is the recipe I made up to copy Souplantation. It worked out because now I can have the pasta anytime, not just during lemon month. I've made it for a several different people over the past couple of years and all have seemed to enjoy it. I love lemons! But who doesn't really?
