(I forgot to take a photo of this dish and will update this post the next time we make the recipe.)
What a simple yet fast and comforting pasta dish!
This recipe took less than 20 minutes to make and is perfect for a weekday meal along with a glass of white wine and a salad and/or meat on the side.
It tastes like an adult version of Mac and Cheese (and a much tastier version of Fettuccine Alfredo) -- it's a cheesy dish but with the brightness of lemon and the additional flavors and complexity from the honey and shallots.
Ingredients: Meyer lemon zest and lemon juice, shallots, heavy cream, dried fettuccine, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, honey, extra-virgin olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, Kosher salt
It's not many ingredients but the resulting dish tastes restaurant-worthy.
Tips:
- Used regular lemons since our grocery store didn't carry Meyer lemons
- Used strozzapretti dried pasta that we had in our pantry
- Used an Italian mix of cheeses that we had in our fridge
- Didn't top/garnish the dish with Meyer lemon supremes (no need for a weekday meal but nice if serving to guests)
