Cheesy Lemon-Chicken Pasta
This family-friendly pasta dish combines tender chicken and linguine in a rich, creamy sauce. The sauce gets its distinctive flavour from a blend of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheeses, brightened with fresh lemon juice and zest. Mushrooms and peas add texture, while a splash of the reserved pasta water helps create a silky coating. It's a quick and satisfying meal perfect for a weeknight dinner.
