Creamy Linguine Pasta al Limone from Campania

creamy linguine pasta al limone

Creamy lemon pasta recipe from Campania.

creamy linguine al limone

Linguine al limone con panna.

I had never tried pasta with lemon until coming to live in Italy. In fact, although I’d heard of it, I couldn’t imagine that it would taste good! How wrong I was! Pasta, particularly long pasta like spaghetti, tagliolini or linguine, is absolutely divine with a fresh lemon sauce! If you have never eaten lemon pasta then this creamy linguine pasta al limone recipe is a good place to start! I promise you, it’s a match made in foodie heaven! 

creamy linguine pasta al limone (lemon pasta)

Lemons from Amalfi and Sorrento.

This dish is very much a Southern Italian recipe. It originated in Campania, specifically the Sorrento peninsula and the Amalfi coast. Both Amalfi and Sorrento are famous for their lemons. Although lemons are grown in all the south Italian regions, the lemons from here are considered by many to be the best!

Step 1 Gather your ingredients.

A little lemon history!

Lemons have been grown on the Sorrento peninsula since Roman times. In fact, the Romans used to believe that lemons were an antidote to all poisons!  However, lemon growing only started to become an important local industry in Campania from the 10th to 12th century.

At that time, Amalfi was actually an important independent maritime republic and trading centre. Lemons were grown mostly as a provision on long sea journeys to combat scurvy! It’s interesting that people then didn’t know about Vitamin C but they knew lemons helped in preventing scurvy.

Step 2 Add the lemon zest to olive oil and melted butter in a heavy pan or skillet.

Over time, the local farmers crossed different varieties of lemons until they succeeded in producing what are considered 2 of the best types of lemons. The Amalfi lemon, known locally as ‘Sfusato d’Amalfi , is 25% juice and has more vitamin C content than most other lemons.

The Sorrento lemon or ‘Femminello Sorrentino’ is slightly more acidic than the Amalfi lemon but also high in vitamin C and delicious eaten raw. Sorrento lemons are usually the ones used to make limoncello, another wonderful Italian lemon based product!

Step 3 Add heavy cream to the pan.

Different versions of pasta al limone.

It is of no surprise that lemons are a traditional ingredient in the local cuisine in this part of Italy. They are used in both sweet and savoury dishes, the most famous of the latter is probably pasta al limone! In Amalfi, they even put lemon in their coffee!

Grated Parmigiano added to skillet with lemon sauce
Step 4 Stir well and add grated Parmigiano.

There are different versions of this recipe; with cream and without cream or with goat cheese or ricotta instead. I have already posted a recipe for spaghetti al limone with ricotta, which is a wonderful no cook recipe (You only have to cook the pasta!). When it comes to herbs, some cooks add thyme to pasta al limone, others parsley and some people use basil. Also garlic is included in some recipes and not in others!

Step 5 Cook the pasta in boiling water flavoured with lemons

This version of pasta al limone is with just heavy cream, Parmigiano, parsley, lemons and butter. So, just a few ingredients and although the sauce does need to be cooked, it takes only 5-10 minutes. Consequently, the whole dish can be ready in the time it takes to boil a pot of water and cook the pasta.

Other types of lemons.

If you can’t find Sorrento or Amalfi lemons, then try to use organic untreated or unwaxed lemons. The skin of other lemons isn’t really edible as they have been sprayed with pesticides or covered in a fungicide wax. I have read that you can just wash them with soap and water but I think if you’re using the zest, better not to buy non-organic fruit. Also, don’t forget not to remove any of the white pith when you grate or peel the lemons because this has a bitter taste and will spoil the flavour of the sauce!

Step 6 Add the cooked pasta to the lemon sauce,.

The pasta.

Traditionally this recipe is made with spaghetti or tagliolini, but many people use linguine too. I actually prefer linguine, especially with a creamy sauce. Linguine has more surface area for the sauce to cling to. In addition, if you use linguine that has been bronze drawn (meaning made using bronze dies) it’s more porous, so absorbs more sauce too.

Step 7 Mix pasta and sauce together, add chopped parsley and serve

A sunny dish for sunny weather!

This is a perfect summer weather dish. Firstly because even though it contains cream it’s not heavy and the lemon adds such a wonderful summery flavour. Secondly, it takes very little time to make, which is great on hot days when you don’t want to spend too long in the kitchen!

Ingredients
  

  • 400 g linguine (14oz) or tagliolini or spaghetti (I used bronze drawn linguine from La Molisana)
  • 2 organic unwaxed lemons preferably from Amalfi or Sorrento
  • 150-200 ml heavy cream (5-7floz) or Italian panna di cucina
  • 50 g Parmigiano cheese (3.5oz) grated Strict vegetarians should use vegetarian parmesan
  • 1 handful fresh parsley chopped
  • 50 g butter (3.5oz)
  • salt for pasta and to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Grate off the zest/peel of the lemons being careful to leave the pith (white part). Then cut the lemon(s) in two. You want to end up with about a flat tablespoonful of zest
  • Put a pot of water on to boil for the pasta. Add two half lemons to the water and squeeze the lemon juice from the second lemon into the water. When the water comes to a boil, add salt, let it come to the boil again and add the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and butter in a frying pan or skillet. Add the lemon zest and let it cook just a few moments, until you begin to smell the lemon. Then add the cream to the pan, Stir well and add the grated Parmigiano cheese, a pinch of salt and ground pepper. 
  • Allow the cream to cook a bit, then turn it off. Add a generous sprinkling of finely chopped parsley and mix.
  • Cook the pasta until just al dente according to the instructions on the packet. When the pasta is almost cooked, add a half ladle of the pasta cooking water to the lemon cream and stir it in. Save a bit more of the pasta cooking water and then drain the pasta and transfer it to the pan with the sauce 
  • Mix well, allowing the pasta to absorb the flavors of the sauce add a little more pasta cooking water if the sauce is too thick. 
  • Serve immediately, sprinkled with a little more grated lemon zest, chopped parsley and grated Parmigiano if required.

This recipe is also traditionally served with linguine, spaghetti or tagliolini.

    Hi I have had recently limone pasta in restaurant with prawns and Congolese. It was delicious so I was looking for a recipe and like yours so I am going to make it and add the seafood. But I would like to know if it is possible to cook the pasta and the sauce few hours before and then heat the sauce and add the pasta just before serving.
    Thank you

      Hi Sasa, thanks for your comment. I have never pre-prepared this dish but I would think it’s very doable. The sauce may become thicker and clumpy when made in advance but then you can smooth it out with some pasta cooking water when reheating before serving. Therefore, after you have cooked the pasta, save a cup of the cooking water before draining it. Keep the cooked pasta in an airtight container so it doesn’t dry out.

    Usually my mum (Neapolitan) does this recipe using tagliolini and without parsley but I have decided to give it a go and try this alternative option.
    I have to say the bigger texture of spaghetti and the added flower of parsley have won over me. Fresh and delicate.
    Really good!

    I was in Italy for 6 weeks and I went to a restaurant in Sorrento where I had some of the best lemon pasta I’ve ever had in my life! I decided to use this recipe to recreate it and it was SPOT ON! I couldn’t believe I was able to recreate it and have it taste as good as it did! I did use lemons I got in Italy when I made it the first time. Now I’m back in the US and the lemons here are sooooo tiny, what a dissappointment! But I am going to see if I try to make it again if it’s still as good! Some changes I made when I made it were to add lemon juice directly to the sauce instead of pasta water as it made it even more lemony which I love!

      I’m thrilled this recipe was as good as what you had in Sorrento Kayla. It’s definitely a divine dish. I haven’t ever added lemon juice to the cream sauce as I thought it would make the cream curdle. But will definitely try it now!

    Looking forward to trying this, but I’m a little confused on the use of chopping both lemons… the directions say to zest the two lemons, then to chop them both in half. One or two halves of one lemon is then put into the pasta water….but then there’s another chopped lemon left over? Seems a bit of a waste to chop it in half if it’s not going to be used for anything…? 🙂

      Hi Dan thanks for your message. I have corrected the recipe to make it clearer. One lemon (cut in half) is added to the pasta cooking water whilst the juice from the second lemon is squeezed into the pasta cooking water.

        February 18, 2021 at 5:47 pm

        Hi Jacqui. The explanation or correction still confuses. You repeat “pasta cooking water” for both lemons. Do you mean that one lemon gets squeezed into the reserved water which will then be mixed with the pasta at the end? Thank you

          February 18, 2021 at 7:20 pm

          Hi Tamim, thanks for your comment. Perhaps I need to make the instructions clearer than I have! You need 2 lemons to get enough zest. Then you put one half lemon or two halves into the pasta cooking water, plus the juice from the second lemon. Towards the end you add some of the lemony pasta cooking water to the sauce and more if you need to once you’ve mixed the pasta with the sauce. Let me know if you have more questions. I’m always happy to help!

    That is making my mouth water!! I absolutely loved Sorrento and agree the lemons there are like nowhere else in the world. I’ll definitely give this recipe a go!

      You are going to love this dish Bronnie, even if the lemons aren’t from Sorrento! I have found using organic lemons is really tasty too! Buon appetito! Jacqui

    What a great idea to make pasta with lemons! I think it goes really well with parsley and cream. All these ingredients I have at home all the time. It’s on the list.

      Happy you like the idea Vladka! Pasta with lemons is traditional in Amalfi and Sorrento where they grow fabulous lemons! But other lemons are good too so I hope you’ll enjoy it when you make it! All the best from Italy! Jacqui
