Ingredients

Servings 2
  • 200 g Lupin pasta
  • 1 Lemon
  • 40 g Butter
  • 60 g Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil (optional)

Method

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it well.
  2. While the water heats, grate the parmesan finely, then zest and juice the lemon.
  3. Cook the lupin pasta 5 minutes — one minute shy of the pack's 6. It goes soft fast, so drain it early rather than late.
  4. Reserve a mugful of pasta water, then drain.
  5. Off the heat, melt the butter with the lemon juice and olive oil, then toss in the pasta, parmesan, and a splash of pasta water until glossy and creamy.
  6. Plate and finish with black pepper and extra parmesan.
