spaghetti al limone

Pasta al limone is a simple, sublime classic Italian recipe made with just pasta noodles, lemon, Parmesan, butter, and black pepper. Fast, easy and perfect!

Pasta al Limone

whole wheat spaghetti

Land O Lakes® Butter

garlic (minced)

lemon (plus additional for serving)

Parmesan cheese

Kosher salt

black pepper

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil—use an amount of water so that the pasta is more crowded in the water than it typically would be (see photo in blog post above). Cook the noodles until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.

When the pasta is nearly done cooking, melt the Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. If the garlic is done cooking before the pasta is ready, remove the pan from the heat so the garlic doesn’t burn.

IMMEDIATELY (as soon as the pasta is drained) add the hot pasta to the skillet with the garlic. Pour in 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Increase the heat to medium-high, then with a pair of tongs, toss to coat. Continue cooking and tossing constantly, until the sauce turns shiny and coats the noodles—it will take a minute or so. The pasta will be coated in a shiny, silky sauce. If the pasta becomes too tight at any point, splash in a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water (add the water slowly so that the pasta doesn’t become watery).

Zest the lemon over the top. Cut the lemon into quarters, then squeeze in the lemon juice. Sprinkle on the Parmesan. Toss again to combine. The cheese might be a bit clumpy at first, but just keep tossing, adding the tiniest splashes of pasta water only as needed. Add a good pinch of salt and several generous grinds of black pepper. Toss again. Taste and add more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to serving plates and top each serving with a sprinkle of extra Parm and a bit more black pepper. Enjoy hot.

This is not quite the traditional spaghetti al limone, but a close version that is a tad less creamy, but still elegant and delicious. It will come together in 10 to 15 minutes, making it an ideal easy weeknight dinner! I like using spaghetti in this lemon pasta, but angel hair pasta will work nicely as well. Keep it vegetarian, or pair it with chicken piccata or shredded leftover chicken!

15-Minute Lemon Pasta (No Cream or Butter!)

spaghetti

extra virgin olive oil, (more if needed)

garlic cloves, (minced)

red pepper flakes, (more to your liking)

lemons

lemon

parsley, (chopped)

kosher salt and black pepper

Parmesan cheese to finish, (more to your liking, optional)

Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt the water well. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions to al dente (about 8 minutes). Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.

When the pasta is nearly done (about 5 minutes into cooking it), heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice and about ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water for now.

Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet and toss over medium heat.

Remove the skillet from the heat and add the parsley, lemon zest and grated parmesan. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Toss again to combine, and if needed, add a little bit more of the pasta cooking water and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately!
