One-Pot, 15-Minute Pasta Limone
PHOTO: LIZ ANDREW/STYLING: ERIN MCDOWELL
Think of this one-pot pasta limone as dinner in your back pocket: Most of the ingredients are in your pantry and it’s ready in practically zero time (well, 15 minutes to be precise). Best of all, it’s completely hands-off, because all you do is throw all the ingredients into a pot and boil them. Um, is it OK if we make this every night of the week?
4 servings
Start to Finish: 15 minutes
Ingredients
12 ounces spaghetti, linguine or bucatini
2 leeks, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus more lemon zest for serving
3 sprigs basil, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Combine the pasta, 4½ cups water, leeks, garlic, lemon zest, basil, salt and pepper in a large skillet with 2-inch sides.
2. Bring the water to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water is nearly gone and the pasta is fully cooked, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Add the lemon juice and Parmesan cheese and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with basil leaves and lemon zest.
