This week for Thirty Minute Thursdays, cooking our way through Giuliano Hazan's Thirty Minute Pasta book with Glennis and whoever else wants to join us, I made Linguine al Limone (Linguine with Lemon), on page 45.
This is absolutely delicious. Those of you who know me, know that I have an unending love affair with the lemon...lemon anything has my immediate attention. I'm surprised it has taken me two months to get to this recipe as that's how long I have had this book.
I didn't mess around with half a batch, hoping that maybe there would be leftovers for breakfast. Silly me, it was such a hit that all leftovers were boxed up for lunches that aren't mine. The recipe is, however, easy enough to make with very little fuss and ingredients found pretty much always in my kitchen.
Ingredients: lemon, butter, cream, salt, pepper, pasta, and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. (I didn't say it was calorie-friendly, just very good and worth the splurge every now and again in small doses.) Oh, and I tossed a few chives on the top just to give it a little something for the photo. I am thinking this would be absolutely delightful with shrimp in it...or chicken...or maybe pork even...throw some steamed broccoli in there and you would have a complete meal with a delightful lemony flavor! Oh, yeah, this is a repeat certainly.
If you like the looks and sounds of it, buy the book as I am a believer in encouraging people to support the authors who put together these fabulous books by buying a copy, so you won't find the recipes posted from this book here. (Buy it, the recipes are easy, the ingredients are easy to locate, it's not pricey, and there are photos of almost all the recipes.)
