- 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
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it well.
- While the water heats, grate the parmesan finely, then zest and juice the lemon.
- 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.
- Reserve a mugful of pasta water, then drain.
- 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.
- Plate and finish with black pepper and extra parmesan.
