In reply to Tracy. I was thinking to skip that part, I’m so glad you said something about it. Now I know, for sure, not to add the baked minced lemon. Thanks!!

This would’ve been great, however- the recipe did not state to remove all the lemon peel before adding the flesh of the roasted lemon. Thus, I “chopped the lemon slices finely” as the recipe said. BITTER! That lemon rine ruined the entire dish. So sad.

In reply to ROBIN. Step 2, first sentence. "Place the lemon slices on the baking sheet." The rest of the step tells you what to do with them as well....,

Made this linguine tonight. It was wonderful! The addition of roasted lemons and garlic is perfection. I followed the recipe exactly as written and only held out the cheese as I was serving with sausages and thought it might a be a bit heavy. I will add cheese the next time as I am planning on making this for relatives who will be in town soon. This is a keeper. Thank you!

In reply to Amy. Hi Amy, hmmm, it's hard to say without seeing what's going on. My guess is they weren't sliced thin enough to crisp up a bit. If they're thicker, maybe they're just getting soft and mushing up. I'd try slicing them thinner and waiting until they get golden brown and lightly crisp on the edges.

Loved this recipe, especially the steps laid out for marrying the pasta to the sauce. I’m wondering, though, if I’m doing something wrong with the lemons….they came out of the oven pretty moist, such that when I minced them, they ended up in a mush and didn’t integrate evenly throughout. Any advice would be appreciated!

Wow, this was a great recipe! I live in southern CA and have a meyer lemon tree that bears fruit in winter and early spring so I had to settle for a supermarket lemon and was dubious how it would taste. Roasting the lemon slices was delicious and I can’t wait to try roasting lemon slices the next time I make shrimp scampi pasta. The roasted tomatoes were delicius as well and so easy. Will make this again and again!
