Lemon and Parmesan Capellini
Total time: 15 min
Servings: 2
Equipment: Oven & Stove
- 2 tbsp. Butter
- 1 Garlic Cloves, crushed
- 2 tbsp. Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 1/2 Small Rustic Baguette
- 8 oz. Capellini Pasta
- 1 c. Light Cream
- 3 oz. Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1 Lemons, finely grated rind
- 1/8 tsp. Salt & Black Pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Put the butter in a bowl and beat with the garlic and herbs.
- Cut the Granary baguette into thick slices and spread them thickly with the flavoured butter.
- Reassemble the baguette. The garlic herb butter will help to hold the slices together. Wrap in foil, support on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water. Dried pasta will take 10–12 minutes, fresh about 3 minutes.
- Pour the cream into another pan and bring to a boil. Stir in the Parmesan and lemon rind. The sauce should thicken in 30 seconds or so.
- Drain the pasta, return it to the pan and toss with the sauce. Season to taste and sprinkle with a little shopped fresh parsley and more grated lemon rind, if you like. Serve with the hot herb bread.
