Pasta al Limone with Goat Cheese Recipe
Makes: 2 servings
Cook Time: 20 minutes
For this recipe, you will need:
- Salt
- 7 ounces (200 grams) thick spaghetti
- 4 ounces (115 grams) soft goat cheese or cream cheese
- At least 3.5 ounces (100 grams) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (you can’t use too much, but you can definitely use too little!)
- The juice of 1 large lemon
- Grated lemon zest for topping
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and salt it generously. Add the pasta and cook as directed, or until “al dente” to your taste.
Meanwhile, place the goat cheese in a large mixing bowl. Stir in enough hot pasta water to thin the cheese into a creamy sauce. Stir in the Parmigiano cheese, lemon juice and salt to taste.
When the pasta is cooked, use tongs or a spaghetti fork to transfer it into the sauce bowl. Stir all together. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a little more pasta water.
Serve immediately, topped with lemon zest.
Buon appetito!
