Brown Butter Lemon Pasta
A light, bright take on a classic, finished with fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pasta (bucatini, rigatoni, whatever you love)
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (plus more for topping)
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 3 tbsp fresh dill, minced
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Boil pasta in salted water until almost al dente. Save 2 cups of pasta water, then drain.
- In a large pan, melt 4 tbsp butter over medium heat. Let it turn golden and nutty, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup pasta water and bring to a simmer. Add the remaining butter 1 tbsp at a time, stirring until creamy.
- Toss in pasta, Parmesan, lemon juice, and zest. Cook a few minutes until silky. Add more pasta water if needed.
- Remove from heat, stir in dill, and season with salt and pepper.
- Top with extra Parmesan and serve.
Made with Red Feather grass-fed butter, tinned in New Zealand.
