The delicious Italian pasta dish “Linguine al limone” brings plenty of sun to your plate. There are countless variations of this online, the most famous of which comes from the River Café in London.

This variant is not quite as simple as Ruth Rogers’ recipe, but the dish is ready in no time at all. The lemon is crucial for a good taste: An Amalfi lemon with its thick peel full of intense aroma is ideal. Whether you use half a lemon or a whole lemon for the dish is a matter of taste. To the classic mixture of lemon and Parmesan you can add a bit of sauce made from stewed garlic, which is deglazed with white wine and thickened with a little butter. A pinch of ground fennel seeds and a few leaves of lemon thyme complete the taste. / Linguine al Limone recipe
