Servings:

Place the broth in a large saucepan and heat to a boil.
2 ½ cups vegetable broth
Stir in the evaporated milk. Add the pasta and bring back to a boil.
12 ounces evaporated milk, 16 ounces gemelli pasta
Simmer about 7 minutes stirring occasionally, then stir in the cheese and continue cooking until the pasta is tender, about 2-4 more minutes (depending on the type of pasta used).
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Stir in the lemon juice and dill.
3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 ½ tablespoons dried dill weed
Serve immediately, garnished with some fresh dill (if desired).
fresh dill, for garnish

Add the Parmesan cheese gradually while stirring constantly. This helps create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Use bottled lemon juice, or juice about 2 lemons for the amount needed.
If the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is not fully cooked, you can add a little more broth or water and continue simmering.
Taste and season with salt and/or pepper as needed.
Add some lemon zest to your pasta for additional lemony flavor. It can also be used as garnish.
