Pasta al Limon

Pasta al limone, or lemon pasta, is an incredibly popular pasta dish in Italy, and I can see why! It’s so simple, yet bursting with the delicious flavors of butter or olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and lots of lemon. It’s so simple and I love making this dish for dinner when I’m short on time, ideas, and resources. If you’ve got a box of spaghetti in the pantry and a few lemons on the counter, you’ve got what you need for this recipe!

If I am making this for dinner, I love serving it with some kind of protein. My favorite options are this Greek lemon chicken or this crockpot apricot chicken. Not that those are traditional in this dish at all, I just know my family will be hungry again in an hour if I don’t feed them a little something extra! I also love making air fryer mushrooms to go on top, they are so good and easy to make! You can also serve

Ingredients

I love pasta al limone for many reasons, but my favorite reason is how simple the ingredient list is! You can make the sauce more hearty and add more ingredients, but the traditional recipe is so delicate and delicious. You can add more fresh herbs on top of this lemon pasta recipe if you would like to. I think the lemon flavor is enough to flavor the whole thing on it’s own! You can find the measurements below in the recipe card.

Spaghetti: Spaghetti noodles are traditional and delicious, not to mention easy to cook!

Butter: You can use butter or olive oil in this recipe. You will make a butter sauce with garlic and lemon juice and zest.

Garlic: Fresh garlic clove makes this dish so savory and delicious.

Lemon Juice: This is where the magic happens. Lemon juice is the star of this past! Make sure you have at least two lemons on hand.

Lemon Zest: Zest is so strong and flavorful, and adds a pop of fresh lemon flavors. Make sure to thoroughly wash your lemons first.

Parmesan Cheese: Parmigiano Reggiano is the perfect choice for shredding on top of this pasta.

Salt and Pepper: This dish is heavy on the black pepper, and for good reason! It goes great with the lemon and Parmesan. Feel free to add however much you like.

Basil or Italian Parsley: This is for garnishing the top. It adds a pop of fresh flavor that you definitely want to include!

Pasta al Limone Recipe

Get ready for the easiest pasta recipe you’ll ever make! Pasta al limone is so straightforward and alive with flavor. Once you cook the pasta, you will use one cup of the reserved pasta water to make the butter lemon sauce. Pasta cooking water is salty and starchy, and helps to bring the sauce together.

Cook Pasta: In a large pot, filled with salted water, boil your pasta until al dente. Follow package instructions. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.

Make Lemon Sauce: Once your pasta is cooked and drained, in a large skillet over medium heat melt your butter. Sautee your minced garlic in the melted butter for just under a minute, add in your cooked pasta, half of your lemon juice, and half of the reserved pasta water.

Add Pasta: Cook the pasta in the skillet, stirring continuously to coat the pasta in the butter mixture. Keep an eye on your pasta as you cook, it should always remain evenly coated in the sauce while it cooks, if it becomes dry or at all, add a little more of the reserved water, but don’t over water your pasta.

Add Lemon and Cheese: Once your pasta has cooked in the skillet, being continually stirred, for about 3 minutes add in the lemon zest, the rest of the lemon juice, and your parmesan cheese. Then continue to stir and cook the pasta, evenly distributing the cheese and zest.

Add Seasoning: Add in salt and pepper and adjust the amount to your liking. The pasta is ready to serve when it is even coated in the lemon butter sauce mixture and the cheese has been evenly melted and distributed throughout the noodles.

Enjoy: Enjoy fresh, plating your pasta with thinly sliced lemon wedges and minced lemongrass for garnish.

Move over, traditional basil pesto, there’s a new nut in town! Walnut pesto is the perfect combination of earthy, nutty goodness with just the right amount of zing. You won’t want it any other way. Spread it on chicken, toss it with pasta, or even eat it by the spoonful- no judgement here!

It’s probably pretty clear by now that pesto is one of my favorite Italian dishes. It’s just so earthy and flavorful! You can make it so many different ways and it’s great on tons of different dishes. For starters, try this basil pesto or creamy pesto, and then use it for these delicious stuffed pork chops! It’s one of my favorite recipes! If you’re craving carbs, this 10-minute pesto pasta is another great option.

Pesto Recipe With Walnuts

Walnut pesto is like a magic potion that transforms even the most boring dishes into something exciting and flavorful! It’s such a great switch up from regular pesto because of its rich and nutty flavor. Whether you’re drizzling it over pasta, spreading it on toast, or using it as a dip for veggies or crostini, this versatile sauce never fails to impress. With its nutty, savory taste and fresh herby aroma, walnut pesto is sure to delight your taste buds and put a smile on your face!

Good news is, it’s SO easy to make. All you need are a handful of ingredients – walnuts, garlic, basil, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese – and a blender or food processor. Simply toss everything in, pulse until smooth, and bam! You’ve got a batch of homemade walnut pesto that’s ready to elevate any dish. So go ahead and impress your friends and family with your Italian culinary skills! We won’t tell them how easy this was to make.

Ingredients Needed

Walnut pesto may sound fancy, but it’s made with simple ingredients that are probably already in your pantry! This combo of a few simple ingredients really packs a punch in the flavor department. You’re going to love it! See the recipe card below for exact measurements.

Fresh Basil Leaves: These vibrant green leaves are the star of the show in walnut pesto, giving it that classic herby flavor. If you’re running low on basil, you can also substitute it with other leafy greens like arugula or spinach.

Walnuts: These crunchy little guys add a rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture to the pesto. It really is the best! Pistachios or almonds also work if you want a slightly different flavor!

Garlic Cloves: Add a spicy, savory kick and depth of flavor to the pesto. If you’re not a fan of raw garlic, you can try roasting it beforehand to mellow out the flavor.

Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated works best! This salty, tangy cheese adds a delicious umami flavor and helps to thicken the pesto. To make your pesto more traditional, try using pecorino romano.

Lemon Juice: This adds a bright, tangy flavor to the walnut pesto and helps to balance out the richness of the nuts and cheese.

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: Helps to blend all of the ingredients together smoothly.

Kosher Salt: Brings out the flavor in all of the ingredients. Add to taste!

How to Make Walnut Pesto

Making walnut pesto sauce is so easy, you could practically do it blindfolded! Just toss all the ingredients into a food processor and blend! From there, you’ve got a nutty, creamy sauce that’s perfect for pasta, pizza, sandwiches, and more.

Blend: Add the basil leaves into a food processor along with the walnuts, parmesan cheese, garlic cloves, lemon juice, and salt. Then pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped but not quite a paste.

Add Olive Oil, Blend Again: Remove the lid and slowly pour half of the extra virgin olive oil and pulse the ingredients together until it’s mixed well. For a more liquid style pesto add the remainder olive oil and then pulse again to mix.

Adjust Flavor: Taste the sauce and then adjust the seasoning as desired.

If you are in the mood for an old fashioned and timeless dessert, this Hot Milk Cake is exactly what you need! Made with scalded milk and a few other basic ingredients, you will be amazed by the fluffy delicate texture and depth of flavor this cake has.

If you are completely new to the baking world, this is THE recipe for you. It’s literally foolproof, and the result is a delicious cake that will have everyone asking for your recipe. Then, once you’ve got your confidence behind you, you can tackle the more involved cakes like this Eclair Cake, this amazing Italian Cream Cake, and this yummy Butter Pecan Cake.

Cake with Hot Milk

Basically, a hot milk cake is a cake made with scalded milk. Scalded milk is when you heat up milk over the stove until you can see little bubbles form along the inside of the edge of the pan and it starts to steam, and if you want to get super technical the milk should be about 180 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. I don’t temp my milk because it really isn’t that sensitive in this recipe. I actually melt butter first, then add my milk and vanilla and scald it all together. It’s my little secret to getting the most flavor out of those ingredients! Do not boil the milk, it doesn’t need to get that hot.

This hot milk cake is perfect served with some fresh whipped cream on top and fresh fruit. On a cold night, I love it with hot chocolate and a drizzle of caramel sauce over the top (you can drizzle that on the hot chocolate too, yum!). It’s also delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or whatever your favorite flavor is. This milk cake has a really subtle vanilla flavor that goes perfectly with whatever you want to eat with it!

Ingredients

This is a really basic recipe that anyone can make! I love making hot milk cake with my kids because it’s so simple and fun to make together. You can definitely add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove if you wanted to make this a spiced cake. I love keeping it simple and serving it with whipped cream and fresh strawberries on top! You can find the measurements listed below in the recipe card.

Eggs: What makes this cake so much better is leaving your eggs out at room temperature for a few hours before you make it.Granulated Sugar: This is to sweeten the cake.All-Purpose Flour: This is the easiest to work with.Baking Powder: This helps the cake rise and get nice and fluffy.Salt: Salt balances out the sweetness and brings out all the delicate flavors.Butter: I like to use unsalted so I can control the amount of salt in my cake.Whole Milk: You will scald the milk first with the butter and vanilla.Vanilla: Vanilla adds so much flavor to the cake and it’s great for baking.Powdered Sugar: For dusting the top.

Hot Milk Cake Recipe

Prepare Pan: Spray a 9×13 baking dish lightly with cooking spray.Fruit Jello: In a small bowl combine the grape jell-o with 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin and 1 cup of boiling water. Then mix until all the gelatin is dissolved. Pour in the prepared pan and refrigerate until fully set.Condensed Milk Jello: Meanwhile, combine 2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water until the gelatin is dissolved. Mix in ⅔ cup of sweetened condensed milk. Let cool while the purple jell-o sets. Also prepare the next color of jell-o the same way the grape jell-o was prepared so it can cool.Layer: Once the grape jell-o is set and the milk jell-o has cooled, pour ½ cup of milk mixture over the grape jell-o. You may need to tilt the dish to help it spread and cover the whole thing. Chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, until completely set.Repeat: Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining flavors. Avoid making the milk jello all at once, otherwise it will start setting up before it can all be poured between the layers. If it does start setting up, gently heat for 10-15 seconds in the microwave and stir well until liquid.Serve: Once all of the rainbow jello layers have been made, cut into 1-2 inch jello cubes and serve. For easy release from the baking dish, carefully run hot water over the bottom of the dish for about 10-15 seconds.
