Lemony spaghetti
This is a stress-free recipe for a simple dish that just tastes like summer.
Ingredients
1 pound spaghetti
2 organic lemons
2 ½ - 3 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
Salt
Cut one lemon in half and put one half in the salted water you’ll use to cook the pasta. Grate the peel of the remaining 1 ½ lemons. Bring the water to a boil and cook the pasta. Just a couple of minutes before the pasta is al dente, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the lemon zest and some salt to the melted butter and give a quick stir. If you prefer, add a touch of olive oil to avoid burning the butter. When the pasta is al dente, drain it and pour the spaghetti into the lemon-scented butter sauce. Give a quick stir, and if you like add another touch of olive oil, and serve.
Tips
Just think how good this recipe is when you use lemons from Sorrento! Having this dish on a terrace facing the Mediterranean Sea is an indulgent way of enjoying the pleasures of summer!

Great summer recipe, I love how light it is! Glad to see you made it back alright, I hope you enjoyed your vacation and summer :)
I will certainly h ave some when I go over to my parents home in Corsica... They will have home grown lemons :)
LOVE lemony spaghetti! Sometimes I'll add any fresh herbs I have to give it a little added flavor and color, but on it's own it's pretty fantastic too.
Me encanta cuando haces pasta Daziano siempre se ven taaaan rica, y con limón nunca lo he hecho probaré esta receta, cariños, gloria

I am jealous of the lemons! That dish looks so refreshing!
This looks so great! Thanks for sharing your recipe! :) Merci beaucoup! :)
The simple things in life are just the best Daziano:D
Simplicity at its very best! Sounds spectacular!
So simple, and yet it looks so good!
This sounds amazing delicious and so simple. This will be on my menu this weekend.
Anything you eat on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea has to be fabulous to match the scenery. This is a very nice summer dish and, just like a little black dress, could be dressed up easily, but perfect as it is.
