HOMEMADE LEMON PEPPER PASTA
From "Making Artisan Pasta: How to Make a World of Handmade Noodles, Stuffed Pasta, Dumplings, and More" by Aliza Green. This flavor complements sauces with seafood, vegetables, and chicken, or can be dressed simply with extra-virgin olive oil and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Not ready to roll out your dough? Place the dough ball in a plastic resealable freezer bag and remove the air; vacuum-seal if possible, and freeze. To use frozen pasta dough, defrost several hours or overnight in refrigerator. If the dough is wet on the outside, pat it dry before rolling out. Durum flour and semolina flour are available through King Arthur Flour. Made with Marcato Linea Facile Motorized Pasta and Pizza Maker: let machine mix flours, then added egg mixture 2 teaspoons at a time. During rolling, dust only a little flour on pasta. Due to the lemon zest and cracked pepper, I could only attain Level 6 thinness. The taste was very subtle, I only got 2.5 tbsp zest from my 3 Meyer lemons.

Steps:
- Place the flour in a large bowl and form the "volcano".
- In a small bowl, combine the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest and black pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture into the center of the flour and use a fork to start incorporating the flour into the mixture. Start with the inner rim and work in the flour from the bottom up. Spin the bowl counterclockwise if you're right-handed (or clockwise if left-handed) while working in the flour with the fork.
- Once the pasta forms large clumps, start kneading. When all of the loose flour has been incorporated and the dough has formed a rough but cohesive mass, about 4 minutes, transfer it to the board to finish kneading. (If loose flour remains and resists joining the dough mass, add 2-3 teaspoons water, toss with the loose flour, and incorporate into the dough mass.).
- (If using a pasta sheet rolling machine, knead until the dough is cohesive and moderately smooth, about 5 minutes.).
- (If NOT using a pasta sheet rolling machine, knead the bread for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic; check that dough has been kneaded long enough for hand-rolling by cutting it open: you should see small air bubbles inside and on the surface.).
- To check for the proper proportion of flour to liquid, press thumb into center of the ball of dough, it should come out clean. If too wet, sprinkle on some more flour (all-purpose flour is fine) and work inches If too dry, spray water with a mister and knead until the liquid has been absorbed.
- If making stuffed pasta, the dough should stick lightly to your fingers but pull away cleanly. For sheet pasta, add enough extra flour to make a firmer dough that releases easily from your fingers.
- If the dough is elastic and wants to spring back, separate dough into 6-8 balls, cover with a bowl or a damp cloth, or wrap in plastic, and allow it to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to relax the gluten before rolling. The dough will continue to absorb the flour as it rests.
- If the dough is sticky after resting, and you're rolling it by machine, you may wish to incorporate more flour by sprinkling the dough when you roll out the pasta to keep it from sticking.
- Roll the pasta to the desired thinness, following pasta machine's directions (start at 1 and progress to desired level). Aim for level 7 for fettuccine. If the dough breaks apart, is irregularly shaped, or sticks to the machine and makes holes, do not worry. Just fold up the sheet of dough into a regular shape that fits the widths of the pasta machine. Dust the new piece of dough with flour, and start rolling again.
- For wide paparadelle strips, roll pasta sheet into a roll, and slice with a knife. Otherwise, use pasta cutter of your choice.
- In hot, humid weather, place a table fan on low speed near the pasta drying rack. Turn the pasta sheets several times so they dry out evenly without developing any mold before forming into nests and drying fully. (Note if cooking pasta the same day, there is no need to dry out the pasta.) Once the pasta has been cut and formed into portion-size nests, arrange on a tray that has been covered with waxed paper or parchment paper and sprinkled with semolina or cornmeal, cover with plastic wrap and store refrigerated up to 3 days.
- For dry pasta, dry until dry on the surface with the texture of smooth cardboard but not brittle. The sheets are dried enough if the cut edges are whitish in color.
- To cook, heat generously salted water at highest setting so that water will return to a boil quickly after pasta is added. Cook until al dente, about 4 minutes for fresh pasta.

Steps:
- Boil the spaghetti in salted boiling water, according to the package directions.
- Meanwhile, using a Microplane, grate the zest from the lemon into a large mixing bowl. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl (I like to use the grater as a strainer-one less thing to clean). Add the 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, pepper, and a pinch of salt, and mix in the olive oil to form a wet paste.
- When the spaghetti is perfectly cooked, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the cooking water to the lemon and cheese mixture. Add the spaghetti to the bowl and toss thoroughly, adding another tablespoon or 2 of pasta water if necessary so that the sauce coats each strand. Roughly tear in the basil leaves.
- Serve each portion with a sprinkle of coarse salt, a fresh grind of black pepper, and a few gratings of extra Parmesan.

PEPPERONI PASTA WITH LEMON AND GARLIC
Bits of chopped pepperoni crisp up almost like bacon when fried, with curled, browned edges and a savory, spicy bite. Here, they're the foundation of a hearty pasta sauce that's supremely satisfying and fast enough for a weeknight. Lemon, garlic and fennel seeds round out the flavors, and fresh herbs lend brightness. Taste the pepperoni before adding the optional red-pepper flakes. Depending on the brand of sausage, you might not need the extra kick. And if you don't have pepperoni on hand, any kind of salami will work.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, according to package directions, until about 2 minutes shy of al dente so that the pasta can finish cooking in the sauce. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- While the pasta is cooking, in a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium. Add pepperoni and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisped and brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- If the pan looks dry, drizzle in a little more oil. Add garlic, fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes (if using) and a large pinch of salt, and cook until garlic is lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook until it darkens, about 1 minute.
- Add the drained pasta, lemon zest and 3/4 cup of the reserved pasta water to the skillet. Stir until the pasta is al dente and well coated with the sauce. Add more pasta water, if needed, until the sauce is glossy and the pasta is cooked to taste.
- Cut the zested lemon in half and squeeze some juice into the pasta. Stir in herbs and taste, adding more lemon juice and salt, if needed. Cut the remaining half lemon into wedges and serve it alongside the pasta, which should be garnished with more herbs and a drizzle of oil, and sprinkled with Parmesan, if you like.
LEMON PASTA
This recipe is sponsored by Target. A few years ago, we were in Florida visiting Ryan's parents on his birthday. I asked him what he wanted for dinner and he said, "lemon pasta." I had never made him lemon pasta before, so I wasn't quite sure where that came from, but it was his birthday, so I got working on it. All of us fell in love with this recipe, and it's become a part of our regular rotation.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using fresh lemons, freshly ground black pepper, and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Cook it al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
- Use a generous amount of lemon zest. This will give the dish a bright, citrusy flavor.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of pepper to your taste. If you like a spicy dish, add more pepper. If you prefer a milder dish, use less pepper.
- Serve the pasta immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent the pasta from becoming soggy.

Pasta with lemon pepper and Parmigiano is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at parties or potlucks. With its bright, citrusy flavor and creamy, cheesy sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
