Spaghetti al Limone - Classic Lemon Pasta Recipe - The Pasta Queen

Spaghetti al Limone (Lemon Pasta). The perfect balance of pasta, lemon, garlic and cream, an Italian classic.

- 4 tbsp Butter
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 200 g Spaghetti (serves 2 people)

(For a vegan alternative, skip the heavy cream and butter! It’s a classic and absolutely delicious.)

Recipe:

1. Mince one garlic clove and sizzle it in a pan with extra virgin olive oil.

2. As the garlic is sizzling, boil the pasta (don’t forget to save about 1 cup of pasta water!)

3. Add 4 tbsp of butter.

4. Add the zest of a small lemon. (save some zest for the perfect garnish)

5. Mix in the juice of a small lemon and let it cook for a few seconds.

6. Then mix in the heavy cream and add a pinch of salt.

7. Drain the pasta and mix it into the sauce until your pasta really absorbs all that delicious flavor.

Sprinkle some finely chopped parsley and lemon zest for garnish to make your dish as gorgeous as you are!

I'm lactose intolerant so I use the olive oil and garlic and lemon and of course it's just gorgeous!

I made this last night EXACTLY as you described in the video and it was amazing. The tip about cooking the pasta for the final few minutes in the actual sauce was a game changer. The texture was so much nicer and creamier than what I normally end up with.

I love how Pasta Bro is always in the background with his antics. The lemon pasta looks delicious also. A must try.

Gorgeous! And, I agree, good olive oil makes the soul shiny! 👍👍

Just made this with tagliatelle and topped it with sliced up sausages I sautéed for some meat and it was fabulous! One of the best pastas I’ve had EVER. My boyfriend who doesn’t normally enjoy creamy dishes loves it too!!! GRAZIE MILLE

I love The Pasta Queen and Pasta Bro. I'm a single 50 year old poor man but all the ingredients they use I have around, I use these recipes and my family and friend's love it.
