A complete supper in three ingredients.
The spaghetti brings structure, the lemon oil supplies perfume, and the Sicilian salt provides the final bright, crystalline note. Add butter, Parmigiano and a fresh lemon from your kitchen and dinner is nearly done.
Boschi Lemon Olive Oil
Italian extra virgin olive oil infused with lemon, used here as the aromatic finish rather than the cooking fat.
Sicilian Lemon Fior di Sale
A ceramic jar of lemon-accented Sicilian sea salt for the last pinch at the table.
Lello Kitchen
Lemon Spaghetti for four.
Glossy, bright and deliberately simple. The lemon oil goes in only after the pan leaves the heat so its perfume remains intact.
Method
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season it moderately. Cook the spaghetti until just shy of al dente, reserving at least 1 cup / 240 mL pasta water.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter with the lemon zest in a wide skillet over low heat without browning.
- Transfer the spaghetti to the skillet with about 1/2 cup / 120 mL pasta water and toss over medium-low heat for 30 seconds.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Add the Parmigiano in several additions, tossing vigorously and loosening with pasta water until glossy and fluid.
- Add fresh lemon juice and black pepper. Toss again.
- Add the Boschi lemon olive oil only after the pan is off the heat. Divide among warm bowls and finish with several crystals of Sicilian lemon salt.
Lello Note
Fresh lemon juice creates the acidity; infused olive oil creates the perfume. They are not interchangeable. The salt belongs at the very end, where its citrus and texture can still be noticed.
Dinner, already considered.
Tied with Lello ribbon. Ready to give.
A useful gift rather than a decorative one: three pantry pieces that become dinner the same evening they arrive.
