Accompaniment

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Baroncini Fontelellera

A firm structure, underlying fresh cherry fruits, soft tannins and lasting finish.

Description

You'll hardly ever see this on a restaurant menu but I believe it's from Sicily. I love its fresh zestiness and versatility - the more lemon the better for me..!

Method

  1. 1

    Cook the pasta. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, take the juice and rind of a lemon and add to it a handful of grated parmesan and a handful of torn (or chopped) basil leaves. Mix together and then bind with olive oil - a few good glugs should do it. When the pasta is cooked, drain and put it back in the hot pan. Add the cheesey lemony basil sauce to the pasta and stir. Serve with loads of black pepper and a nice green side salad.

Chef's Tips

you can add various toppings to this dish - I've made this with toasted pine nuts, asparagus, crispy bacon bits, roasted red onions, rocket leaves, fresh peas... it's very quick, easy and versatile - and delicious
