Gretchen's table: Linguine with lemon pesto, inspired by dreams of the Amalfi Coast

Are you getting itchy for travel? Me too, now that the spring is teasing us with warm and sunny weather that just begs for a road trip.

In particular, I've been dreaming of Italy after seeing a friend's post about his family's trip to the Amalfi Coast. My husband and I were lucky to visit the cliffside village of Positano years ago for an anniversary, and you don't soon forget places with such stunning scenery and amazing food.

There's pasta, of course, but the region also is known for its incredible lemons, which can grow larger than baseballs and are used to make its famed limoncello, along with sorbet, seafood recipes and cake. Its juice also often finds its way into sauces, inspiring me to sate my longing for a trip to Italy with a fresh and fragrant lemony pasta dish I might find on a menu there.
