Today’s Special: Creamy Dill Pasta with Lemon Zest

It’s a crisp and refreshing day, perfect for enjoying a light and flavorful meal that brings a touch of sunshine to the table. That’s why I’m excited to share my latest creation: Creamy Dill Pasta with Lemon Zest. This dish is a perfect blend of creamy textures, fresh flavors, and a hint of zesty citrus that will leave your taste buds singing.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • linguine (250g)
  • butter (50g)
  • flour (30g)
  • milk (400ml)
  • fresh dill (20g, chopped)
  • lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
  • salt and pepper to taste

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

  • pot for boiling pasta
  • saucepan
  • whisk
  • lemon grater

Start by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens.

Add the chopped dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to the creamy sauce, stirring until well combined. Let the flavors meld together over low heat while the pasta finishes cooking. Once the linguine is al dente, drain it and add it to the creamy dill sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated.

Serve the Creamy Dill Pasta with Lemon Zest hot, garnished with an extra sprinkle of fresh dill and lemon zest for a burst of brightness. This dish weighs approximately 700g when cooked and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 175g and has an estimated calorie count of 300.

One unique tip for this recipe is to let the pasta sit in the sauce for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to deepen and meld together, creating a more cohesive and delicious dish.

I hope you enjoy creating and savoring this Creamy Dill Pasta with Lemon Zest as much as I do. Feel free to play around with the ingredients and make it your own by adding your favorite proteins or veggies. Happy cooking!
