Creamy Linguine Pasta al Limone is a delicious Italian dish hailing from Campania. The creamy lemon sauce adds a refreshing twist to traditional linguine pasta, making it a perfect choice for a light yet satisfying meal.
Ingredients: 350g linguine pasta. 2 lemons zest and juice. 200ml heavy cream. 50g butter. 1 garlic clove minced. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish. Grated Parmesan cheese optional, for serving.
Instructions: Cook linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add lemon zest and juice to the skillet, stir well to combine. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy lemon sauce.
