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
REPLACE
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
 
  1. 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.
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. 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?
