What is Authentic Italian Pasta Al Limone? <\/h2>\n

Pasta al limone is a simple South Italian pasta dish consisting of pasta (usually spaghetti), lemon (zest and juice), plenty of butter or sometimes olive oil, freshly grated Parmesan, salt, and a generous amount of black pepper.<\/p>\n

The origin of pasta al Limone is disputed, but it is definitely a big deal in southern Italy and Sicily, regions that are known for their lemons. There are plenty of variations of this South Italian lemon pasta recipe. Some of them contain a splash of white wine, others lots and lots of butter; some, like this one use cream.<\/p>\n

My extra creamy version of this lemon pasta uses the holy trinity of cream, creamy goat cheese and parmesan cheese. You can, of course, add normal cream cheese – I just happened to have goat’s cream cheese and it went perfectly with the lemon note. <\/p>\n

The authentic Pasta Al Limone Recipe is made with Sorrento lemons. But you can still make a delicious bowl of creamy lemon pasta using regular lemons. <\/p>\n

Let me tell you, this might be my favorite pasta dish EVER! It’s even better than cacio e pepe!!! With this creamy lemon sauce, this is just so crazy delicious. You can make it using half-and-half and you can use any pasta you have kicking around in your pantry. I used Fettuccine, but you can use tagliatelle or spaghetti. Even rotini or penne would work.<\/p>\n

Every bite wows more than the last and it\u2019s simply mindblowing how good something this easy, made with so few ingredients, can taste that divine.<\/p>\n

Put on some Italian music in the background while cooking, then spoil someone special and surprise them with this flavor bomb of a pasta dish!<\/p>\n
