How to Make PASTA al LIMONE Like an Italian (Lemon Pasta Recipe)

This lemon pasta will take you to Sicily or the you pick .

This is a beautiful Mediterranean dish .

Amazing .

I don't wanna see you putting cream like so many other people always put cream .

This does not deserve cream and I show you how it's done creamy without the cream .

Hm hm .

Lemon pasta .

It's simplicity at its best .

OK .

So we need simple ingredients for two people .

We need 200 g of linguine pasta .

See the lingua shows here is nice , rough .

This is as you can see is not orange , it's almost white means it is a good quality pasta , pasta is the most most important ingredient in this recipe .

Then we have some mint .

That's my choice .

But you can use basil if you don't want mint .

Lemons .

One lemon per person .

Extra virgin olive oil , you can replace with butter .

But I got the Sicilian Way .

Pecorino .

Romano .

This is my addition to this recipe and I think it's so important .

I put Pecorino everywhere .

My next challenge is to put Pecorino in coffee .

Thank you .

First thing to do , boil the pasta .

So what we do is we get one tablespoon of rock salt put it in boiling water .

OK ?

The pasta packet says to cook the pasta for 12 minutes .

I I'm going to cook it for two minutes less 10 minutes .

Why ?

Because I'm cooking the last two minutes in the sauce pan .

Here we go see you in 10 minutes .

Pasta .

Two minutes less than the pasta packet .

Lemons , the main ingredients OK ?

What we do is we want to get the lemon zest .

OK ?

We wanna get as much lemon zest as possible because it's gonna make a difference .

Oh Love the flavors sauce .

Lemon .

Just love it .

I would say the zest from one lemon is more than enough for two people .

OK ?

But if you love lemon so much that you want more , just go for more .

Nobody stopping you the more lemon , the better .

We got plenty of zest for the sauce and now we can cut the lemon in enough and get the juice .

We want to get the juice out of this lemon .

Try to get as much as you can .

Please get everything .

Just get as , as much as you can .

Now we go with the second lemon which we are going to use at this .

Later on that you put it there , the pasta is almost ready .

What we do is we're gonna put the extra virgin olive oil about four tablespoons .

Just be generous .

Like I said you can use butter if you want butter .

But this is the best Mediterranean way .

To make this dish .

Now , what we want to do is we want to add the lemon zest and half of glass of lemon juice just off the glass .

OK ?

That's in there .

You want all these flavors to make love together .

At the same time , we're going to break some mint in there .

OK ?

Just to keep the flavor to our base , a little bit of mint .

And now I'm also going to use see the lemon that we took the zest off .

I'm gonna put them in here .

OK ?

We cook them in here .

Extra flavors , extra flavor to the base .

Come on lemon .

Give me all the flavors please .

And now we just wait for the pasta to be ready so we can cook the last two minutes of the pasta in here .

All right guys , as you can see the pasta is ready , it's got two minutes to go , but I wanna take it out because the last two minutes should be cooked with the lemon and infused with the lemon and the mint .

Come on , let's put it in the sauce pan and here we go .

Put the pasta in there .

Beautiful .

I love linguini .

Linguini is such , such a beautiful pasta and it's such a beautiful shape guys .

Make sure you get a nice mug of pasta , water , generous amount .

OK ?

And we're gonna now put the pasta water in here , OK ?

Pasta what I got in there because we're gonna cook the rest of the pasta in here .

Now , what we do is for the first minute we stir , we do this , the past the water will evaporate .

So don't worry about it .

OK ?

Now , what we can do , we can take this off .

We don't need the lemon anymore .

Here we go .

Lemon .

Thank you guys .

We have one minute and a half to go .

OK ?

So keep cooking , keep stirring and now we can use the zest from the other lemon , nice and fresh right on top the more you use the better .

And then the other is this we're gonna use for decoration .

Ok .

Now at this point , I'm gonna put more mint , add more mint guys .

At this point we have one minute to go .

Ok ?

One minute to go until the pasta is ready .

Please use as much meat as you want .

Ok , this pasta is gonna remind you of a Mojito .

Here we go with the rest of the lemon juice 45 seconds to go before the pasta is ready .

Come on at the maximum temperature .

Pump it up guys , pump it up 35 seconds .

I want all the water to evaporate .

Come on , come on , baby , come on and here we are guys take it off the pan and then we can add the cheese .

What we do now is we're gonna add the pecorino cheese .

Ok .

This is not a catch of paper , don't forget , but the pecorino is so important .

The pecorino is gonna help to make it creamier .

Listen to the sound of lemon , beautiful marvelous guys .

I see people adding cream to this dish .

Why do you ruin such a beautiful light Mediterranean pasta ?

This is how creamy it is .

Look how creamy this is .

That's how you make it creamy .

Look at that .

This pasta is perfect .

Just the way it is now .

We need extra lemon , this mint and we are ready to enjoy it .

Come on baby , come on , come into my belly .

Now it's time to serve this legendary pasta .

Oh This is how you make pasta from season or it's up to you .

Now , what we want from this pasta is the juice .

The beautiful lemon cream without the cream .

When I see this pasta made with cream , it made me so sad .

Really so sad .

This pasta should be simple , healthy , delicious .

Stop adding cream .

That's not the right way .

Now what we do is we put some lemon zest everywhere to break some fresh mint on top .

That's how you decorate this marvelous , marvelous delicious Mediterranean pasta dish .
