One of the best chefs in Los Angeles, Gino Angelini, prepared his famous penne with a lemon sauce while connecting with Maddalena Fossati, La Cucina Italiana Editor in Chief in a recent #BUTTALAPASTA IG Live event. The famed pasta expert, owner and chef of Angelina Osteria, showed followers how to make this quick and satisfying dish with just a few accessible ingredients.
Penne Al Limone By Gino Angelini
Serves 2
Ingredients:
180 gr penne
3 tablespoons Parmigiano Reggiano
2 leaves of chopped basil
1 cup cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pepper
Salt
Method:
Boil water in a large pot, then add pasta with a generous pinch of salt. While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter on a slow fire making sure it doesn’t burn. Add the basil and lightly sauté. Add the lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper, let it evaporate, and then stir in the cream. The ingredient will come together in a smooth sauce. When the pasta is cooked al dente, add it to the sauce and stir. Lower the flame, add the Parmigiano and mix again. Serve the pasta on individual plates and add fresh grounded pepper, lemon zest, and one more pinch of Parmigiano.
