The Lemon- off is tomorrow and even though I decided what I am making earlier this week, I still wanted to try out a recipe I found in a Martha Stewart magazine called Fettuccine with Lemon, Mint, and Parmesan. I ended up making a few changes to the recipe because I am cheap and only need half the amount of pasta, so below is my version of Fettuccine with Lemon. It turned out well, although I would say that it was not as good as the Lemon Spaghetti with Asparagus, my roommate said he liked this recipe more. I guess you can do your own taste trial and decide for yourself.
Fettuccine with Lemon
- 1/2 pound dried fettuccine
- Coarse salt
- 1/2 to 3/4cup asiago cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup torn fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Crushed red-pepper flakes (my friend who was joining me cannot handle red-pepper flakes and I forgot to sprinkle some on my own dish, but I bet it's an awesome addition)
- Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
- Transfer pasta to a large bowl, and mix in reserved cooking liquid, cheese, lemon zest and juice, mint, oil, and red-pepper flakes if desired. Divide among dishes, garnish with cheese, and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
