This sauce, traditionally served with veal shanks, also compliments Angel hair pasta, which is very fine and must be served immediately after being cooked. The sauce, Gremolata, is a lemon rind, garlic and parsley condiment. Ingredients:
2 lemons |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
3/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped |
1 lb angel hair pasta |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
6 tablespoons parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Grate yellow zest from lemons, being careful not to include any bitter white pith.
2. In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, garlic and parsley.
3. Set gremolata aside.
4. Cook angel hair pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm, between 3 and 5 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, warm olive oil over medium-low heat.
6. Add gremolata and salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute, being careful not to burn garlic.
7. Drain pasta and pour into pan.
8. Toss to coat. Sprinkle parmesan cheese to top.
