PASTA AL LIMONE



Pasta al Limone image

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!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces dried whole wheat spaghetti or similar long noodles (such as fettuccine)
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 medium lemon (plus additional for serving)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces, plus additional for serving)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 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 butter 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.

CHICKEN & SPINACH SKILLET PASTA WITH LEMON & PARMESAN



Chicken & Spinach Skillet Pasta with Lemon & Parmesan image

This one-pan pasta that combines lean chicken breast and sautéed spinach for a one-bowl meal is garlicky, lemony and best served with a little Parm on top. I call it "Mom's Skillet Pasta" and she called it "Devon's Favorite Pasta." Either way it's a quick and easy weeknight dinner we created together and scribbled on a little recipe card more than a decade ago, and it remains in my weekly dinner rotation to this day. It's a simple dinner the whole family will love.

PASTA WITH BROWN BUTTER, WHOLE LEMON, AND PARMESAN



Pasta With Brown Butter, Whole Lemon, and Parmesan image

Using a sliced whole lemon gives unbeatably fresh aroma from the skin, bitter complexity from the pith, and tart, puckery juice from the flesh. Thin slices soften evenly and ensure that the lemon plays nicely with the pasta, butter, and Parmesan.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Lunch     Pasta     Lemon     Butter     Parmesan     Pepper     Vegetarian     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb. short tube pasta (such as paccheri or rigatoni)
Kosher salt
8 Tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, divided
1 small regular lemon or Meyer lemon, very thinly sliced into rounds, seeds removed
1 oz. Parmesan, finely grated, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling generously salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions (pasta will finish cooking in the sauce).
  • Meanwhile, heat half of the butter in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium until melted. Add lemon slices and cook, stirring often, until softened and bottom of pot is browned in spots, 5-7 minutes. Using tongs, transfer one-third of lemon slices to a plate; set aside.
  • Just before pasta is al dente, scoop out 2 cups pasta cooking liquid. Add 1½ cups pasta cooking liquid to butter sauce. (This may seem like a lot of liquid, but it will thicken once the remaining ingredients are added.) Add remaining butter a piece at a time, whisking until each piece is incorporated before adding more, until the sauce is emulsified and creamy.
  • Drain pasta and add to sauce. Cook, stirring often and adding 1 oz. Parmesan a little at a time. Once all of the cheese is added, continue to cook, still stirring, until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy and clings to pasta, about 3 minutes. If sauce looks very thick, add more pasta cooking liquid 1-2 Tbsp. at a time to thin (saucier is ideal as it will thicken as it cools). Remove from heat and sprinkle with an almost ridiculous amount of pepper (about 2 tsp.); toss once more.
  • Serve pasta topped with reserved lemon rounds and more Parmesan.

LEMONY ORZO WITH ASPARAGUS AND GARLIC BREAD CRUMBS



Lemony Orzo With Asparagus and Garlic Bread Crumbs image

Every spoonful of this pasta has a happy jumble of lemony orzo, grassy asparagus, garlicky bread crumbs, fresh herbs and salty Parmesan. The pasta and thinly sliced asparagus cook together in the same pot, then rest in a lemony dressing while the garlic bread crumbs are toasted, so the pasta has time to absorb as much flavor as possible.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup orzo
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced on a diagonal (about 1/4-inch thick)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 3 tablespoons lemon juice, plus more as needed (from about 1 large lemon)
1/2 cup panko or homemade bread crumbs
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/2 cup fresh dill, mint or parsley leaves (or any combination), torn if large

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until al dente according to package directions. Two minutes before the orzo is done, add the asparagus. Drain the orzo and asparagus. Wipe out and reserve the pot.
  • While the orzo and asparagus cook, make the dressing: In a large bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons oil and the lemon zest and juice; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the drained orzo and asparagus and toss to coat. Set aside while you toast the bread crumbs.
  • In the reserved pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the panko and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in the garlic and season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir the Parmesan and herbs into the orzo, taste, then season with salt, pepper and additional lemon juice, if desired. Top with the toasted bread crumbs and more Parmesan if you like. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemons, spinach, and Parmesan cheese will give your pasta dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (still slightly firm to the bite).
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water: This water contains starch, which will help to create a creamy sauce.
  • Add the spinach to the pasta at the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the spinach from becoming overcooked and wilted.
  • Use a microplane to grate the Parmesan cheese: This will create a fine, fluffy texture that will evenly coat the pasta.
  • Add the bread crumbs to the pasta just before serving: This will help to keep them crispy.

Conclusion:

This pasta with lemon, spinach, Parmesan, and bread crumbs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The combination of flavors is bright and refreshing, and the bread crumbs add a nice crunchy texture. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
