CREAMY, LEMONY PASTA



Creamy, Lemony Pasta image

This 15-minute pasta lets you decide how much effort to put in: If you've had a day and need an easy, no-nonsense meal, then make it as-is and use kitchen shears to cut your scallions. If you're feeling slightly more ambitious, then make a topping that adds texture, vibrant green color and more lemony flavor to the dish (see Tip). But don't cut corners when it comes to the yogurt: Use a thick, strained whole-milk yogurt like labneh, Greek or skyr, as it will give the finished dish an irresistibly rich and tangy taste.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
1 pound short curly pasta, such as cavatappi, fusilli or farfalle
1 large lemon, zested and juiced (about 1 tablespoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
A heaping ¾ cup grated Parmesan, plus more as needed
Black pepper
1/4 cup labneh or other thick, strained whole-milk yogurt, such as Greek or skyr, drained if necessary
2 scallions, green and white parts, sliced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle boil, and cook until just shy of al dente, 2 to 3 minutes less than the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water. Drain the pasta, then return to the pot on the stove over medium-low heat.
  • Stir in ¾ cup of the pasta water, half the lemon juice, the Parmesan and several grinds of black pepper, stirring vigorously until a silky sauce has formed. Add a tablespoon of water at a time as needed to make a creamier sauce if it looks dry. Stir in the labneh, remaining lemon juice, lemon zest and scallions until creamy and combined, about 1 minute more. Season with salt as needed. Finish with another grind of pepper and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the shake will be thinner and less creamy.
  • For a thicker shake, add more ice cream. For a thinner shake, add more milk or water.
  • If you want a sweeter shake, add more sugar or honey.
  • For a more tart shake, add more lemon juice.
  • You can add other ingredients to your shake, such as fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips.
  • Serve your shake immediately, or it will start to melt.

Conclusion:

Creamy lemon shake is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy treat, give creamy lemon shake a try.
