Aromatic Rosemary Lemon Pasta Recipe

Today’s Delicious Creation: Rosemary Lemon Pancetta Pasta

Greetings, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the aromatic flavors of rosemary, the zesty kick of lemon, and the savory goodness of pancetta. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner with loved ones.

For this unique pasta creation, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• spaghetti (200g)
• pancetta, diced (100g)
• lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
• fresh rosemary, chopped (2 tbsp)
• garlic, minced (2 cloves)
• olive oil (2 tbsp)
• parmesan cheese, grated (50g)
• salt and pepper to taste

To bring this dish to life, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• large pot for boiling pasta
• frying pan for pancetta
• lemon zester
• chopping board
• knife for chopping
• garlic press

Start by cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted water. In a separate frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add the diced pancetta. Cook until crispy, then add in the minced garlic and chopped rosemary, sautéing until fragrant.

Once the spaghetti is cooked to al dente, drain and add it to the pancetta mixture. Toss well to combine, then add in the lemon zest and grated parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, giving everything a final toss to ensure the flavors are well incorporated.

The total weight of this delicious Rosemary Lemon Pancetta Pasta comes to approximately 500g. This recipe serves 4 people, with each serving weighing in at around 125g. An estimated calorie count for each serving is about 400 calories.

One tip to make this dish extra special is to reserve a bit of the starchy pasta water before draining. Adding a splash of this water to the pasta while mixing everything together helps create a silky sauce that coats the noodles perfectly.

I encourage you to give this recipe a try and make it your own by adding your favorite ingredients or tweaking the seasonings to suit your taste. Happy cooking!
