Ingredients

  • 200g '00' flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 lemons, juice and zest
  • 150ml double cream
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 100g Parmesan, grated
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 75ml olive oil
  • sea salt and black pepper
  • Lemon verbena or thyme

METHOD

  1. Process the flour and eggs together in a blender until they resemble breadcrumbs.Bring the dough together to form a flat disc and then wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes. 
  2. Pass the dough through a pasta machine working it through the varying thicknesses but stopping before the last one (or else it becomes too thin for tagliatelle). Arrange them in nests on a semolina lined tray.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  4. In a medium sized bowl mix together the lemon juice and zest, egg yolk, cream and parmesan. Whisk them together
  5. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for a couple of minutes. Drain well and toss back in the saucepan over a low heat with olive oil. Pour over the lemon cream sauce and season.
  6. Serve with grated Parmesan, lemon slices and a scattering of herbs. Perfect with a rocket salad on the side.
