Skillet Pasta Limone

Simply delicious, and the beauty of this, it is all cooked at one time, in one skillet or a pot, how easy is that. Serve as a main or side dish. On my to cook list.

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 340 grams dry spaghetti, break in half
  • 2 leeks, thinly sliced, rinsed well
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon juice and zest, or a lime, for serving
  • 3 sprigs basil, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for serving
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, for serving
  • 4 1/2 cups water

Instructions
 

  • You can use a heavy walled pot or a large deep skillet for this dish, either will work well. I used my pressure cooker pot due to being thick walled.
  • Slice and rinse the leeks several times, reason for this is the way leeks grow, they can have sand in between the layers as it grows.
  • To a large deep, non stick skillet or pot, add the water, pasta, leeks, garlic, lemon zest, basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce to a high simmer and cook, stirring often, until the water is nearly gone and the pasta is cooked to tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Squeeze in the lemon juice and grated cheese and toss to combine.
  • Serve, garnish with chopped basil and lemon zest. Serve as a main or side dish.

    I made this on 9 June 2018, and it delicious, and easy to put together. On my Go-To list now. My wife is out of town for a few days so she missed tasting this, this time. However, it was enjoyed by a sister in law and her husband, well liked by them as well.
