Re: Ina Garten’s Lemon Capellini Recipe

@Chi-town girl   Sorry!  I forgot to mention the name of his pasta dish! It's called Bucatini al Limone.

Re: Ina Garten’s Lemon Capellini Recipe

I make a similar recipe with olive oil, panko, and capers (torn from an issue of Cook's Illustrated and altered to my taste):

 

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup panko crumbs

2 tbsp capers, rinsed

4 tsp anchovy paste

1 tsp lemon zest

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp salt

12 oz angel hair pasta (I like Barilla)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

 

Stir panko into 1 tbsp hot olive oil in skillet until golden brown.  Save in dish for later.

 

Puree capers, anchovy paste, lemon zest and juice, garlic, mustard, salt, and olive oil in food processor until smooth.  Save in big bowl.

 

Stir pasta and 1 tbsp salt into 4 qts boiling water.  Save 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.  Whisk 1/2 cup water into bowl of sauce.  Pour pasta into bowl of sauce and mix.  Stir in rest of water.

 

Sprinkle with panko and Parmesan to serve.

Re: Ina Garten’s Lemon Capellini Recipe

I love everything Ina makes. I would add a third lemon and probably cut back to 1 and 1/2 sticks of butter. I don't eat much red sauce so this really sounds good to me and I know the grands would like it...I add frozen peas right before serving. Chicken nuggets on the side, of course.
