Upgrade Your Plain Pasta With This Spicy Lemon Seafood Sauce

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UIUC chapter.

We’re bringing classy back, one calamari ring at a time. This dish is tangy with a kick to compliment fresh or frozen fish. Celery breaks up the heat and capers add just enough salt to enhance but not overpower the sauce. Plus, it’s insanely simple to make.

Just toss everything in the sauce and let it #werk.
