This pasta dish was a bit too lemony for my taste. I think next time I'll use less lemon juice and add a bit more butter to the sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The lemon and spinach really balanced out the goat cheese flavor. I'll definitely be making this again!

This pasta dish was absolutely delicious! I used a lemon-infused olive oil and added a bit of red pepper flakes for a little spice. The goat cheese and spinach paired perfectly with the bright lemon flavor. I will definitely be making this again!
