Angel Hair Pasta with Meyer Lemons

By á-25342

Meyer lemon juice is the key to this pasta dish

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound angel hair pasta
• Grated zest and juice of one Meyer lemon
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus a little more for garnish
• 2 to 3 ounces fresh, soft goat cheese, crumbled, plus more for garnish
• 1/4 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil
• salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta until al dente, or tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, anywhere from 4 to at most 8 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water.

While pasta is cooking, combine the zest and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the parmesan, goat cheese, olive oil and a little bit of the cooking water. Whisk sauce together until smooth.

Taste before adding salt as the goat cheese can be salty.

Transfer cooked and drained pasta to the bowl and toss. Add more pasta water if needed. Garnish with remaining parmesan and goat cheese.
