There's no need to feel sad and scurvyish this winter with this pasta that Simon has been regularly making that bursts with lemony flavour and sunshine.
(Also, has someone seen the *real* Yumi? because this one seems uncommonly interested in sport and not just sport but men's sport and therefore must be bodysnatched, please send help.)
PASTA AL LIMONE
RECIPE
Measure out 200g linguine and set it in a large pan that has a lid that fits.
Zest 2 lemons into the pan. Add in a bashed clove of garlic, 100ml olive oil and a teaspoon salt. Cover with 600ml water, cover with the lid and then bring the whole thing to the boil.
As soon as it reaches boiling, remove the lid and allow it to simmer gently for 8 minutes, turning carefully with tongs every minute.
Squeeze in the juice of one of the lemons, cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat then stir through 50g butter and some finely grated parmesan cheese (optional). Allow it to sit and soak up the juices for 2 minutes.
To serve, add basil leaves (optional), freshly cracked pepper and any more cheese if you want.
