This pasta al limone is super flavourful, delicious, refreshing yet comforting. Lemon and pasta is a combination that I think is not talked about enough. This lemon pasta dish is zingy, incredibly flavourful, very easy to make and just…delicious!
I wasn’t kidding when I said this is a really easy meal to cook. It literally takes 10 minutes to make, so it’s the perfect weeknight dinner when you feel exhausted after work and just want to sit down and relax. The good thing is, it’s still super delicious and looks kinda fancy. And if you want to serve it with some greens, go for it! Personally I think broccolini works really well with this pasta dish.

Annick, this recipe is spectacular. I made it and there’s an elegance to it that just makes it work. I feel like it’s one of those creations that stupidly simple, yet totally Italian, and as an American, you can’t quite figure out how, in your incompetence, you’ve been oversaucing or underseasoning spaghetti.
At first glance, I thought, “Wait, how can this work without a vegan cream sauce? What does the non-dairy milk have to bind to?” I was expecting soaked cashews blended up or something but now that I give it some reflection, this is pasta al Limone, NOT Alfredo.
I used oat milk (because we can all agree, if you don’t have celiacs or a gluten intolerance, is the best plant-based milk), zested 4 lemon peels, and added everything in the sequence you instructed. It’s saucy with the starchy water and holds to the noodles. “SO GOOD!” my husband sighed on the first bite. Tip: al dente is 2-3 minutes less than the package instructions. I took my spaghetti for 8 minutes instead of the recommended 11. I feel like I just learned how to cook something really important because of you. <3
I’m glad that you enjoyed the recipe and could learn something from it. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely comment, Roe. It has made my day and reminds me why I share recipes in the first place. I’m currently planning which recipes I will create and share in the coming months – is there anything in particular you’d like to see?
