Ghagin bil-Lumi – Lemon Pasta

It’s Citrus season this time of year. Malta’s citrus industry dates back as far as 870, when Malta was under Arab rule. Thanks to Martinu for his lovely stock of local lemon produce, we’re cooking a simple but super delicious lemon pasta. This dish tastes of spring and summer combined..
