 I do a spin on
my lemon spaghetti.
And this time, I'm
using fusilli con buco.
It's a long corkscrew and
has a hole in the center.
And it's really festive
and fun and Jade loves it.
So what we're going to do is
just melt a little of butter
with some olive oil and garlic.
All right.
We're going to have
to take a little bit
of pasta water, which is
where all the flavor is.
We're going to use about
a 1/2 a cup of pasta water
in with the butter and the olive
oil to start creating a sauce.
This is a really fast sauce.
So mix that all together.
You can start to
smell the garlic.
Here we go.
Grab the pasta.
Turn it off and we'll put
it directly into the pan.
See how pretty this looks.
Curly, curly Q's.
All right, so we've got
the pasta in the pan.
Now, we're going
to add to the pasta
1 and 1/2 cups of Parmigiano.
And I've already grated
my Parmesan cheese.
So you can do a lot of
the legwork in advance
and add all of the
ingredients and not have to do
much work at the last minute.
And some mascarpone.
Add all of the mascarpone.
2 and 1/2 cups of Parmesan
cheese and 1 cup of mascarpone.
The combo will give
you that creamy Alfredo
sauce taste and texture.
Let's lighten it all up
with a little bit of lemon.
So we're going to
zest a whole lemon.
And then we're going to
juice the lemon, as well.
And add a little bit
of salt. Season it.
Actually, I can use this.
And I want to toss
this together.
Melt the mascarpone and the
Parmesan cheese with the pasta
water that we added earlier.
Next.
We're going to do
one cup of peas.
Then we're going to
add some lemon juice.
That's about a tablespoon,
so it depends on the lemon
that you have and
how juicy it is.
I think this one, we're
going to do the whole thing.
Give it a nice,
bright, lemony flavor.
And toss it again.
See how pretty this looks?
And now, to really make it
super pretty, pink peppercorns.
They're very florally and
they add a beautiful color.
But they don't give hot spice,
but just sort of a warm spice
and a wonderful aroma.
It's sort of that
last ingredient
that everybody talks about.
Well, let's see here.
Take a little bite.
Last sprinkle of
salt. And that is it.
