This simple and easy-to-prepare dish was the best I had on a gastronomic trip to Perugia in Italy. Use a high-quality Italian pasta.

Ingredients

  • 150 ml/¼ pint double cream
  • finely grated rind and juice of 1 small lemon

Method

Before you start to cook the pasta, put the cream and grated lemon rind in a saucepan on one side. Then plunge the pasta into a saucepan of boiling salted water and boil, uncovered, for a few minutes, testing until it is just cooked al dente — still with a slight bite to it. Drain the pasta and put it back in the warm saucepan with the olive oil while you make the sauce.
