PASTA WITH EGGS AND FETA CHEESE

Pasta with grated eggs and feta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon pepper.

This is a recipe my grandmother would make for my mom, and my mom would make for me. It is the perfect balance of savory (from the eggs) and salty (from the feta), with a little bit of lemon juice to balance out the flavors and brighten up the dish.
