This pasta dish is bright and full of flavors with minimal ingredients that you probably already have in hand.
The sauce is lemony and creamy and the Aleppo pepper brings the perfect amount of heat to the dish. Aleppo pepper is a common Middle Eastern condiment. It's less spicy than chili flakes and has a much more pronounced flavour. Don't worry if you can't find this pepper, you can easily replace it with chili flakes in this recipe.
