Penne Pasta with Lemon Sauce
I had a similar dish recently at a German restaurant in Dresden. This is my version of that dish. It's creamy with a great light lemon flavor and is excellent topped with grilled salmon.

In an extra large skillet, combine the butter, cream and broth. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by about half. Add the lemon juice, lemon and lime zest and set aside. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente; drain. Toss pasta with sauce and serve. Top with large chunks of grilled salmon or chicken.
