Best Lemon Tagliatelle Recipes

TAGLIATELLE WITH A LEMON PORK RAGù

Steps:

• Peel the garlic cloves, cut in half lengthways and remove the green shoot at the centre. Gently warm the garlic and oil in a large frying pan (big enough to toss the pasta in later). As it starts to colour, take off the heat and let the garlic infuse for 5 minutes, then discard it.
• Tip the onion and celery into the garlic scented oil, sprinkle with a little salt and return to a gentle heat. Let them soften, without colouring, for 8-10 minutes. They should sweat rather than fry, so if you hear sizzling add water, a tablespoon at a time.
• Add the pancetta and cook for another 6minutes, adding water as before. Stir in the pork and turn the heat up. Don't colour the meat too much and avoid breaking it up. Add the wine and let it evaporate, then season. Pour in 200ml/7fl oz water, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Mix in a little water if the mixture gets too dry.
• While the ragù is cooking, put a pan with plenty of water on to boil. Grate the Parmesan and the zest from the lemon.
• When the water is at a rolling boil add 2 tsp salt, then the pasta. Partly cover, bring back to the boil, give it a good stir and reduce the heat so the water boils gently. Taste the pasta 2 minutes before the timing on the packet - remember it will keep cooking while it is tossed with the ragù.
• Drain the pasta, reserving some pasta water. Immediately transfer the pasta to the frying pan and toss well over a low heat. Tip in the parmesan and toss well. Add pasta water to dilute, or extra cheese to absorb excess liquid, and mix again.
• Toss in the lemon zest and parsley. Serve immediately.

TAGLIATELLE WITH BABY VEGETABLES AND LEMON-PARMESAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender. Drain, reserving 2 cups cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and zucchini; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until zucchini is almost tender, about 8 minutes. Add beans and lemon peel. Toss 1 minute.
• Scrape contents of skillet over pasta in pot. Add 1 1/4 cups Parmesan cheese, cream, lemon juice, and 1 cup reserved cooking liquid. Place over medium-high heat and toss until heated through and sauce coats pasta, adding more reserved pasta liquid by 1/4 cupfuls to moisten as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, passing additional cheese separately.

CARBONARA-STYLE TAGLIATELLE WITH GRILLED ASPARAGUS AND LEMON-HERB BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly drizzle the asparagus with EVOO, then grill until charred, evenly marked and tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Cut into 1-inch pieces on an angle, or thinly slice if the asparagus is thick.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
• Heat 1 tablespoon EVOO in a small skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter into the oil; when it foams, stir in the lemon zest, then add the breadcrumbs and stir until moistened. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the breadcrumbs are deep golden. Stir in the chives and parsley and remove from the heat.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons EVOO in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and 2 teaspoons pepper, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 1 to 2 more minutes, then add the wine and reduce the heat to low.
• Lightly beat the egg yolks in a small bowl.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water just before draining the pasta, and beat it into the egg yolks to temper them.
• Add the asparagus to the pancetta mixture and heat through.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the asparagus and pancetta. Pour the egg mixture over the top, turn off the heat and toss for 1 minute, adding the cheese in the last few seconds. Divide the pasta among shallow bowls and top with lots of the lemon-herb breadcrumbs.

TAGLIATELLE WITH LEMON

Steps:

• 1. Cook the tagliatelle in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain.
• 2. While the pasta is cooking, grate the zest of lemons and squeeze and reserve the juice of 1 lemon.
• 3. In a saucepan, warm up the olive oil, add the zest, and cook over low flame for 2 minutes. Add the crème fraîche and bring to a boil; pour in the reserved lemon juice and bring to a boil again.

LEMON PINE NUT TAGLIATELLE

Steps:

• 1. Mince the parsley and place it in a large shallow bowl. Add the oil, lemon zest, and pine nuts and mix until well combined. Season with salt, cover, and let sit for at least 2 hours at room temperature.
• 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the tagliatelle, stir, and cook until it is al dente (tender but still firm to the bite), 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
• 3. Add the hot pasta along with the cooking water immediately to the prepared sauce and toss until the sauce is thoroughly distributed. Season with salt and pepper and toss again.
• 4. To serve, use two spoons and carefully scoop up the pasta, making sure to get pine nuts with each serving (see Note). Serve with lemon wedges if desired for squeezing atop the pasta.
• Note: The pine nuts tend to fall to the bottom of the bowl no matter how well you toss the pasta. Once the pasta is served, simply return to the bowl and evenly distribute the remaining pine nuts over each serving.

SALMON TAGLIATELLE WITH CREAMY LEMON DILL SAUCE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• 1. To make tagliatelle, mix '00' flour and semolina together and tip them onto a working surface. Form a well in the middle and crack in the eggs. Using a fork, beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour from the sides of the well. When a lumpy dough starts to form, it's time to get your hands working. 2. Knead the dough by pulling it away from you and rolling it back. Repeat until the flour is absorbed. Next, using the press-fold-turn action, knead the dough till elastic and smooth. Form into a ball and cover with plastic wrap. Leave it to rest for 30 minutes. 3. Divide the rested dough into 4 sections with a scraper and keep 3 sections covered with a plastic wrap. Flatten one section with your fingers and roll the dough through the pasta machine by starting with the widest setting. Fold the dough into half and run it through the machine a few more times. Subsequently, click a setting down and run the dough through until you reach your desired thickness. Flouring the pasta sheet periodically will prevent it from getting too sticky and make it easier to handle. The dough thickness for this recipe is No. 6 on our Ampia 150. Lastly, pass the pasta sheet through the tagliatelle attachment. Flour pasta to prevent strands from sticking and cover them with a plastic wrap before cooking. To cook pasta, season water with salt (3 liters of water + 1 tbsp of salt). When the water is boiling, add in pasta and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or till al dente. 4. While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce. Heat oil in a pan and fry the salmon for 1 to 2 minutes each side till crisp on the outside and pink on the inside. Remove from pan and cut into 2cm cubes. In the same pan, add in crushed garlic and cook till aromatic. Stir in cream, chopped dill and mustard. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer for 5 minutes. When the sauce is thickened, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Next, add in lemon juice, salmon cubes and its juices. Cook for another 1 minute and gently toss pasta in the sauce to coat. Serve with salmon roe and shaved Parmesan.
