Creamy Lemon Pasta

Pasta of choice*

Tablespoons Butter

Garlic Cloves ((minced))

Heavy Cream

Lemon Zest**

Tablespoons Lemon

Red Pepper Flakes ((plus more for garnish))

Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Pasta Water

Parmesan Cheese

In a large pot, heat water over high heat. Generously salt the water as this infuses flavor into the pasta as it cooks.

While the pasta is cooking, carefully scoop out 1 cup of pasta water and set it aside to add to the sauce later.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and let it begin to melt. Add in garlic and saute for ONLY 1 minute. Add heavy cream and stir. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. I suggest using a whisk to continually stir to make it extra creamy. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken -about 5 minutes.

Add in parmesan cheese, only 1 Tablespoon at a time, to avoid clumping. Stir well with whisk after each addition.

Stir in 3/4 cup of pasta water into the sauce. Let it thicken for about 3-4 minutes. Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper and lemon zest, if needed.

Toss the drained cooked pasta with the lemon cream sauce. Garnish with red pepper flakes, lemon zest, grated parmesan cheese.

Lemon spaghetti is an easy, quick and delicious lemon pasta recipe. A light and fresh main dish, perfect for summer. In our recipe we preferred a pasta sauce made with lemon juice and zest, with NO CREAM. Usually, for this recipe, we use spaghetti, which goes better with this lemon sauce, taking up all its aroma. In place of spaghetti you can even use linguine or tagliolini.Lemon pasta recipe is a typical dish of Costiera Amalfitana which produces the best Italian lemons. As you need both lemon juice and peel for this recipe, remember to use organic, untreated lemons. Another very important aspect is to pay attention to the cooking of the pasta, in order to get the typical creaminess of this recipe without using heavy cream.

Lemon Spaghetti | Easy Pasta al Limone Recipe

350 g (12 oz) of Spaghetti

g (2 1/2 tablespoons) of unsulted butter

organic lemon, large size

garlic

parsley

water

coarse salt

Make lemon zest

Wash the lemon and then grate the zest, avoiding the bitter white part. Squeeze out the juice and set aside.

Sauté

Place the butter, oil and grated lemon zest in a large non-stick pan. Remember to save some of the zest to add at the end. Melt the butter and sauté it. Stir well with a wooden spoon and add the lemon juice. Finally add the garlic clove. Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes.

Cook spaghetti

Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in 1.5 liters (7 cups) of water with 1/2 tablespoon coarse salt. Take a look at the cooking time of the spaghetti on their package. Halfway through cooking, drain spaghetti and place in the skillet with lemon sauce. Spaghetti should be very much al dente, practically still raw, and finish cooking in the pan with the sauce.

Season and serve

Add a ladleful of the starch-rich cooking water. Finish cooking the spaghetti in the pan, stirring well. If necessary, add a little more water. Serve hot with more lemon zest and a little chopped parsley on top.

Spaghetti tossed in lemon juice, garlic, butter and lots of sharedded parmesan cheese. Super simple and flavorful pasta side or main dish!

Lemon Garlic Parmesan Pasta

oz whole wheat spaghetti (or regular, or mixed)

salted butter

lemon juice (2-3 large lemons)

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

pasta water (from boiling the pasta) (+ more if needed)

parmesan cheese (+ more for garnish)

In a large pot, bring water to boil. Once water boils, add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions. Do not overcook. Reserve pasta water for later (be sure to reserve more than 1/4 cup in case you need more).

Drain pasta water. If pasta will be sitting for a while, rinse it with cold water and toss in olive oil to prevent it from sticking and getting overcooked.

While pasta is cooking, prep the rest of the ingredients. Chop garlic and parsley, grate parmesan cheese, and squeeze lemon juice.

In a large skillet, melt butter and cook chopped garlic until fragrant but do not brown or burn garlic. Add lemon juice, salt, black pepper and 1/4 cup pasta water to skillet. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.

Optional: If garlic turns blue (it&#x27;s normal because of its reaction with lemon juice), using a strainer to remove garlic.

Toss pasta in sauce and 1 cup of parmesan cheese. Add additional 1 or 2 tbsp pasta water if needed, but note that this is not a wet pasta dish. Garnish with more parmesan cheese and parsley.

Serve and enjoy!

An easy and delicious Italian pasta dish! Spaghetti tossed in lemon juice, garlic, butter and lots of shredded parmesan cheese.

This lemon pasta recipe is my take on Italian pasta al limone. Bright, fresh, and ready in 20 minutes, it&#39;s a delicious weeknight dinner.

spaghetti

unsalted butter

lemon

Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)

lemon juice (plus more to taste)

Sea salt

black pepper

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare the pasta according to the package instructions, cooking until al dente. In the final minutes of cooking, reserve 1 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water.

A few minutes before the pasta is ready, add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Heat the butter until it foams, then reduce the heat to low and add the lemon zest and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from the heat if your pasta is still cooking.

When the pasta is al dente, use tongs to transfer it from the pot to the skillet with the butter mixture. Add ½ cup of the reserved pasta water and cook over low heat, tossing until a sauce forms and lightly coats the pasta. Add half the cheese and toss to incorporate. Add the lemon juice and remaining cheese and toss again, cooking until the sauce is smooth. If it becomes too thick or clumpy, add more pasta water as needed to loosen it. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice.

Garnish with more lemon zest and fresh parsley. Serve with more cheese.
