Lemon Parmesan Sauce

insta pot recipes

When life gives you lemons, make this sauce. It’s an irresistible concoction that has all the beauty of an Alfredo with the added brightness of lemons, marrying refreshing citrus flavors with cheese and cream. Of course, you can tone down the dairy should you wish (see Jeff’s Tips). One ladle of this sunny sauce is all it takes to make any dish exciting—from chicken to shrimp, and rice to pasta.
