Today we prepare a delicious, fragrant and fresh dish: tagliolini with lemon. This recipe will not only allow you to give life to a rich course of taste, but will save you time in the kitchen, since to prepare them you need very few ingredients and steps. Usually cream is used to give the dish the right creaminess, but in addition to the classic recipe we will also see other delicious variations. Clearly I advise you to use fresh and untreated lemons, so as to obtain an authentic flavor. 

Tagliolini with lemon are a first course with a fresh and appetizing flavor, consisting of a few simple ingredients that, expertly combined, will give you a refined dish and also suitable for special occasions. If you have the opportunity to get some lemons – even better if untreated, so you can use the peel in peace – the lemon pasta prepared in this way is one of the most suitable recipes to make the most of all their aroma.

To prepare the lemon tagliolini you only need egg tagliolini , 1 lemon, a little oil and a little butter, which helps to bind pasta and seasoning well and favors the creation of a delicious cream. The addition of chopped fresh parsley, in addition to marrying well with the flavor of lemon, will give a nice note of color to the dish.

Let's get started!

Ingredients

400 g egg tagliolini 

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 knob of butter

1 untreated lemon

3 tablespoons cream

salt to taste

pepper to taste

How to make tagliolini with lemon

Put the water for the pasta on the heat and prepare the sauce immediately. Wash the lemon and cut a part of the peel by grating it or cutting it into thin strips. Be sure to preserve only the yellow part and discard the white parts inside, which would give the dish an unpleasant bitter note. At this point, put a pan on the heat and melt a knob of butter. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice. Throw the tagliolini after salting the water and cook them. Once ready, drain the pasta directly into the pan with a ladle of cooking water and add the cream.

Turn everything well and season with a drizzle of oil, a pinch of pepper and fabulous fresh basil. 

Enjoy your meal!
