Lemon sauce for pasta

The beauty of the recipe lies in its simplicity. It uses both zest and juice of lemons. It’s a quick but fresh and delicious dish, and it’s puzzling how good something this easy can taste.

  • Prep Time: 10
  • Cook Time: 2
  • Total Time: 12 minutes
  • Yield: 6

Ingredients

  • 60 g of butter
  • 80 mL of olive oil
  • The juice from one organic lemon
  • The zest of 3 organic lemons, zest just the surface, not the pith (white part).
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of finely chopped parsley

Instructions

  • ntly heat the butter, olive oil, and the clove of garlic in a frying pan until the garlic has released the flavor but without browning (approx 2 minutes). Discard the garlic.
  • Add the lemon juice and the lemon zest and cook for 1 minute at low heat.
  • When you drain the pasta, keep a little bit of the water.
  • Add the sauce to the pasta. Add the water so the sauce and pasta will come together. Toss the chopped parsley and sprinkle with a little black pepper and serve it.
