Chef Yoshimi Hidaka of Ristorante Acqua Pazza shares an unexpectedly harmonious lemon pasta recipe. Lemon and pasta are a perfect match, a beloved dish in Italy. Please try this refreshing and easy pasta, which uses both the peel and juice of the lemon, in your own home.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Spaghetti 160g
- Scallops 8 pcs
- Lemon 1 pc
- Heavy Cream 240g-300g
- Parmesan Cheese 80g-100g
- Olive Oil 1 tsp
Seasonings
- Salt (to taste)
Steps
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook Spaghetti 160g according to package directions.
- In a separate pot, add Heavy Cream 240g-300g and reduce by half. Add a pinch of Salt during the process.
- Lightly season Scallops 8 pcs with Salt.
- Heat a frying pan and add Olive Oil 1 tsp.
- Once the pan is hot, add the salted Scallops and sear until golden brown on the surface. Keep the inside slightly rare. (This is the key!) Cooking at a lower temperature will not achieve the desired flavor and texture; by searing them in a hot pan and leaving the inside slightly raw, you enhance the flavor and texture.
- Squeeze the juice from Lemon 1 pc.
- Remove the seared Scallops and cut them in half horizontally.
- Add the cooked Spaghetti and the halved Scallops to the pot with the reduced cream.
- Add the squeezed Lemon Juice from 1 pc to the pot and toss well to coat the pasta with the cream.
- Adjust seasoning with Salt.
- If necessary, add a little pasta cooking water to adjust the sauce consistency.
- Turn off the heat and add Parmesan Cheese 80g-100g, then mix gently.
- Grate some of the Lemon Peel and mix it into the pasta. (This is the key!) It's best to use an organic lemon for the peel.
- Plate the pasta, garnish with the remaining Scallops, and sprinkle with more grated Lemon Peel.
