They are as long as spaghetti, but a little more delicious: that’s why the Italians call this type of pasta “little tongue”. In this recipe, the linguine takes on a subtle citrus flavor.
The delicious Italian pasta dish “Linguine al limone” brings plenty of sunshine to your plate. There are countless variations of this online, the most famous coming from the River Café in London.
This version is not as easy as the Ruth Rogers recipe, but the dish is ready in no time. Lemons are essential for good taste: an Amalfi lemon is ideal with its thick skin full of dry aroma. Whether you use half a lemon or a whole lemon for the dish is a matter of taste. In the classic combination of lemon and parmesan, you can add a little sauce made of stewed garlic, flavored with white wine and thickened with a little oil. A little bit of fenugreek seeds and some lemon leaves complete the taste.
