  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the drained pasta to the skillet along with lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and salt and pepper. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy sauce.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Serve the pasta hot, garnished with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.
