Steps:
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith. Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.
- Stir the water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Pour the sugar syrup over the vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.

Steps:
- Wash the lemons thoroughly. Using a peeler, take off the skins being careful not to get any of the white lemon "pith" onto your peelings or it will add bitterness to your limoncello. Place peels into a large wide-mouth jar with all the vodka. Seal tightly. Place the jar in a cool, dry place for 2 to 3 weeks. Shake the jar to remix everything everyday or so. You will notice the color of the liquid changing to yellow as the peels lose their color.
- After 1 week, dissolve the sugar completely with the water by heating it on the stove in a large saucepan. Let simple syrup cool to room temperature. Strain the lemon peels from the alcohol and discard. Mix the alcohol with the simple syrup. At this point you can serve it right away or pour the alcohol into a bottle with the simple syrup and place in the freezer to chill. Once chilled it becomes thick and syrupy.

Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh lemon zest and juice, good quality seafood, and fresh herbs will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the seafood, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the seafood to steam instead of sear, and it will end up being tough and rubbery.
- Use a light touch: When tossing the pasta with the sauce, use a light touch to avoid breaking up the pasta. You want the pasta to be coated with the sauce, but you don't want it to be mushy.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: When serving the pasta, garnish it with fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or thyme. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine limoncello is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood pasta dish. The combination of lemon, seafood, and herbs creates a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a fettuccine limoncello that is sure to impress your family and friends.
