Zesty Lemon Rosemary Pasta: A Flavor Explosion in Every Bite

Deliciously Unique Lemon Rosemary Pasta

Welcome to my latest culinary creation! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the bright citrusy flavors of lemon with the earthy aroma of fresh rosemary in a bold and unexpected way. This dish is perfect for a cozy evening at home or a special gathering with friends. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• linguine noodles (200g)
• fresh lemon juice (1/2 cup)
• fresh rosemary (2 tbsp, chopped)
• garlic cloves (3, minced)
• olive oil (3 tbsp)
• red pepper flakes (1/2 tsp)
• parmesan cheese (1/4 cup, grated)
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• skillet
• knife
• cutting board

Begin by cooking the linguine noodles according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted water. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, then stir in the chopped rosemary and red pepper flakes.

Once the noodles are al dente, drain them and reserve a cup of the pasta water. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the garlic, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Pour in the fresh lemon juice and toss everything together, adding a splash of pasta water to create a silky sauce.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top. Stir well to combine all the flavors, allowing the cheese to melt slightly and coat the noodles.

Serve the Lemon Rosemary Pasta hot, garnished with additional parmesan cheese and a sprig of fresh rosemary for a beautiful presentation.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 4 servings at around 150g each. One serving of this dish is approximately 350 calories.

Clever Tip:

To amp up the lemon flavor in this dish, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the pasta water before cooking the noodles. The extra citrus kick will elevate the dish to a whole new level!
