This tasty dish is the perfect side to any meal. Its a great go-to when you want something green on your plate and don't feel like a salad. Adding the parmesan at the end just ups the yum-factor. Also, don't worry if you can't find Meyer lemons. They just happen to be my favorites, but any lemon will do the trick. This dish looks and tastes fancy, but it is oh-so-easy and healthy. You can even throw a fried egg on top if you want to have it like a true Italian.
