Hi everyone,

I ended up pulverizing some lemon leaves and deciding to use that to make pasta al limone.

I will say that the one thing I do add that is unconventional is a pinch of sugar. Something about it rounds out the flavour profile for me.

There are a lot of recipes out there online so I won’t bother, but what I do do is boil the pasta water with squeezed lemon carcasses and I also use the carcasses to cook the base of the sauce!

    Nice work and looks delicious. I am impressed with your cheese to zest ratio and will try out dehydrating the leaves for an extra lemon-y punch.

  6. Probably the most elegant dish i have seen in years! And i am particularly yours not the same others on internet! I can see the efforts reflect straight on that dish the plating cannot be more simple and beautiful!

  7. I love the visual. I found a pistachio lemon pasta I really like and I could see doing that dusting with fine pistachio powder (cause I’m not finding and dehydrating lemon leaves ^^)

  8. Looks delicious! Also, cracking up at the term lemon carcasses, love it lol.

    This with a crisp pinot grigio or albariño would be 👌🏻.
