Any good lemon pasta recipes? Please share!

This one is ftom Katie Lee. I haven't tried it yet

LEMON PASTA

INGREDIENTS

1 pound spaghetti
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 lemons, zested and 2 juiced

1/4 cup half and half or heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

Bring a large pot of generally salted water to a boil over high heat.

Cook spaghetti one to two minutes less than package instructions, until al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta water after the pasta has finished cooking.

While the pasta cooks, make the sauce. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the lemon zest and juice. Add 1/2 cup pasta water and bring to a low simmer. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Stir in the cream and remaining 1/4 cup of pasta water if it is dry. Turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan. Serve with freshly ground black pepper and more Parmesan.

One-Pot Lemon Garlic Cream Ravioli with Shrimp and Asparagus

Another 1 pot dish! And asparagus is in season now

Its all made in ONE POT-even the ravioli-which means you only have to wash ONE POT!
It takes less than 30 minutes to make
Its easy to make (just look at the instructions)….so don’t get intimidated by the ingredient list 🙂
It has shrimp! which bonus, means you don’t have to chop raw chicken
Its crazy creamy without any heavy cream, only less fat cream cheese and cornstarch
Its packed with flavor
Is a complete meal-in-one with carbs, dairy, protein and veggies!
Its customizable – mix up the protein, veggies, etc.
Keep shrimp and ravioli stocked and you can make it any time
It tastes great as leftovers

INGREDIENTS

Shrimp

1 pound medium shrimp peeled and deveined, tails on or off
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Sauce

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup asparagus chopped into 1” pieces
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 16 oz. pkg. quality refrigerated cheese ravioli

Add later:

2 or 4 oz. cream cheese, cubed and softened (I use 1/3 less fat)*
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large nonstick sauté pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Sauté approximate 3 minutes, just until shrimp is opaque. Remove to a plate.
In the now empty pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add shallots and asparagus and sauté 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté 30 seconds.
Add ravioli, milk, and half of the chicken broth. Mix remaining chicken broth with cornstarch and add to skillet along with dried basil, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Simmer just until ravioli is al dente (a minute or so less than package instructions), being careful not to overcook. Turn heat to low.
Push ravioli to one side of the pan and add cream cheese to the other side and whisk until mostly melted, followed by Parmesan cheese. Stir in peas, lemon juice and shrimp. Heat through and garnish with fresh parsley and additional salt/pepper/lemon juice/Parmesan to taste if desired.

RECIPE NOTES

*4 oz. is luxuriously creamy. If you are watching calories, 2 oz. is still delicious, just not quite as crazy creamy.

@Dinaki - so you are our Greek goddess!?!

We usually attend an annual summer Greek festival - the food is AMAZING, lots of music, dancing, ouzo is flowing. ..

One of the food stands sells a Greeek pasta with a side of sliced sesame seed bread. It's so yummy. It's a light summer pasta made with butter and Greek cheese

I think we can use the Katie Lee lemon pasta recipe and substitute a greek cheese for the Parmesan to make it a Greek pasta?

@MoonieBaby I have always thought so too, from the first time I saw her on the Food channel. I even looked her up to see if she were related to Ali McGraw. She isn't. I've heard everyone has a doppelgänger.

A new lemony 'assistant' from Trader Joe's

Limone Alfredo

Inspired by a well-known & well-loved dish at an equally well-known & well-loved Italian restaurant here in Los Angeles, Trader Joe’s Limone Alfredo tastes like a bright, sunny spring afternoon… you know, if said spring afternoon was, say, mixed with whole milk, whipping cream, butter, & real Parmigiano Reggiano...

Made in Italy, exclusively for us, this zesty, creamy Alfredo Sauce is perfect with long-cut pasta like Trader Joe’s Italian Linguine or Papardelle, but you can also go with Trader Joe’s Italian Penne Rigate or Italian Farfalle. Serve it flanked with Trader Joes’s Just Chicken, or Medium Cooked Shrimp, and topped with Trader Joe’s Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano, lemon zest, and a bit of parsley. We quite like it in our Linguine Limone Alfredo with Shrimp recipe.

Not in the mood for pasta? Never you mind! Trader Joe’s Limone Alfredo is also a delicious as a sauce for stand-alone seafood or chicken (add some capers, and you’ve practically got chicken piccata!)

We’re selling each 15-ounce jar of Limone Alfredo Sauce for $3.49, while they last. Find it in our grocery aisle.

Great idea! I absolutely love Feta.

Do you have anyother suggestion on what you would consider Greek cheese?

I was thinking of adding chick peas to that pasta dish!
