Summer in every twirl. 🍋🌿🍝 Bright lemon, fragrant basil and perfectly chilled spaghetti come together in a fresh, vibrant pasta that's made for warm days. Would you serve this at your next summer lunch? ☀️💚 @alberto marcolongo Ingredients 320 g spaghetti 2 lemons 1 cup fresh basil leaves 80 ml (⅓ cup) extra virgin olive oil Salt Freshly ground black pepper Method Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the lemons in large strips and add them to the water. Cook the spaghetti for 10 minutes, then drain, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking water. Immediately cool the pasta under cold running water and set aside. In a blender, combine the basil leaves, the juice of the lemons, finely grated lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil and a splash of the reserved pasta water. Blend until smooth and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cut the reserved lemon peel into a very fine julienne, blanch for 30 seconds in boiling water, then cool immediately in ice water and drain well. Toss the chilled spaghetti with the basil and lemon sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed until lightly coated. Twirl into serving bowls and finish with the lemon julienne, fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. #giallolovesitaly #pastarecipes #spaghetti #lemon #foodie
