lemon linguine
When I was on honeymoon, some years ago now, I came across these fantastic Sicilian lemons. Their skin is really fragrant in cooking and they are very juicy too. You can use them roasted with fish, sliced very thinly in salads, and halved and put inside chicken. When roasted they go all jammy. This pasta recipe is great to use them in too, so try and find some – if you can’t find any, use normal lemons instead.Cook the linguine in a generous amount of boiling, salted water for about 12 minutes, then drain thoroughly and return to the saucepan. Meanwhile, beat the lemon juice and zest with the olive oil, then stir in the Parmesan – it’ll go thick and creamy. Season and add more lemon juice if needed. Add the lemon sauce to the linguine and shake the pan to coat each strand of pasta with the sauce (the Parmesan will melt when mixed with the pasta). Finish by stirring in the chopped basil and the rocket.

Leaf of rucola is just for the decoration, I think. I'm looking forward to try this dish, "water is coming on my mouth" :) Kiss Jamie, you're my idol, my inspiration. 34, Irena

I suggest to add just a bit of sugar in the sauce. It makes it smoother...

Okay, now I know how this is going to sound, but I have to admit to being surprised at how lemony this dish tasted. I know, it's not exactly rocket science considering that, after pasta, the main ingredient is lemon juice, but I'm just saying that it took my hungover brain by surprise. So be warned fellow idiots, this is definitely LEMON pasta. It's also an idea to leave it standing for a while before munching, as I think the flavours evened out a lot more as the dish cooled, plus I used organic wholewheat spaghetti, which certainly added flavour. It made a nice change from my usual tomato-based sauces, but certainly hasn't knocked them off my best hangover pasta list.

Is it okay if I do not use Sicilian lemons? Do you think they can be found in Singapore? :)

I think you might need to clarify that rocket = rucola.

Rocket is also called Arugula, at least here in the states :)
Its called Rocket because of the Latin derivative, eruca.

I found this recipe a tad too lemony - I used organic lemons that are grown by my neighbour; having used three, I think in future I will only use two and the cheese didn't melt as much as I thought it would - pasta not hot enough maybe. But thank you Jamie, I will definitely do it again as my four year old son gobbled the whole lot up no problem!! (from Australia)

Great recipe! I too ended up adding a bit of sugar since the lemons I used weren't quite as sweet. Very easy to make (new chef here) and I would definitely to it again. I might even add chicken or asparagus or some other goody to mix it up. Perfect dinner for a hot California evening...
