"Spaghetti Limone Parmeggiano" with Grilled Salmon




Got the recipe from Gwyneth Paltrow's My Father Daughter's book. This recipe is super easy, nyummy and light. I made a view changes...


All you need:
  • 3/4 pound (3/4 box) spaghetti
  • Salt
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 1/2 cups finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3–5 tablespoons of pasta water, to thin
  • Handful fresh basil leaves (from 4 leafy stems)
  • Salmon fillets


- Boil the spaghetti in salted boiling water, according to the package directions.

- Used grilled pan for the Salmon. Sprinkle salmon fillets with a bit of lime, salt and pepper. Place salmon fillets, cooked for 4 minutes. Turn salmon carefully and continue to grill until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes longer

- Meanwhile, grate the zest from the lemon into a large mixing bowl. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl . Add the 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, pepper, and a pinch of salt, and mix in the olive oil to form a wet paste

- When the spaghetti is perfectly cooked, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the cooking water to the lemon and cheese mixture. Add the spaghetti to the bowl and toss thoroughly, adding another tablespoon or 2 of pasta water if necessary so that the sauce coats each strand. Roughly tear in the basil leaves. And tear the grilled salmon ,mix it into the spaghetti mixture.

- Serve each portion with a sprinkle of coarse salt, a fresh grind of black pepper, and a few gratings of extra Parmesan.


Go try it! Easy peasy :))
