One-Pot Pasta Al Limone
Pasta al limone.
Pasta, lemon, and Parmesan come together in alchemy to create something worthy of any table.
Easy Winsby Anna Jones is out now.
I tested out a lot of pasta al limone recipes before I landed here.
The starchy water it creates is exactly what is needed to thicken the lemony sauce and coat the pasta.
I like to keep this pretty simple.

If you like, you could add some greens or even stir through some warmed cannellini beans.
Serves 4
Fill the pasta pan
Put 400g spaghetti or linguine into a large lidded saucepan.
Taste and add more salt, lemon juice and butter or olive oil as needed.

Squashed crisp-edged potatoes, tossed and baked in pickle brine to give them a subtle but important chip-shop-vinegar feeling.
Pickle brine is often thrown away but it is highly seasoned gold.
Preheat the oven and parboil the potatoes
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan.

Drain and leave the potatoes to steam dry in a colander.
Make the chili dressing
Prick 3 fresh red chilies with the tip of a sharp knife.
This stops them exploding when they are cooked.
Once they are all blistered, put them in a small bowl, cover and leave for 15 minutes.
This way they will steam in their own heat and the skins will peel off easily.
Discard the seeds and finely chop the flesh.
Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
Tear 1 head of radicchio into bite-sized pieces, season with salt, and toss in the chili dressing.
For the last year or so Ive been eating their sesame noodles most weeks.
Drain and rinse under cold water.
