Lemon Almond Pasta

Lemon garlic almond pasta

Ingredients for 2 main servings

👉17g salt sounds a lot but it's actually 1% and it's not too much because we don't add any extra salt in the sauce.

In this way no matter how much pasta noodles you boil they are all perfectly salted.

200g pasta(Spaghetti)

For boiling pasta

1700ml water

17g salt

1tsp EV olive oil or rasp oil with lemon flavor

1tsp minced garlic

20-30g freshly pressed lemon juice

40g almond flour

100g pasta's cooking water (salty)

Black pepper

Optional topping

Chopped basil

Chili flakes

Lemon peel

Grated almond

Step 1

Boil a pot of water (1700ml).

Dissolve generous amounts of salt.

Start boiling pasta.

Step2

Pour some oil into a frying pan and roast minced garlic over low heat.

As soon as the oil is garlic infused , add almond flour.

Stir it for about 30 seconds.

Step3

Pour about 100g of pasta's starchy cooking water into the frying pan.

Let it simmer for a few minutes until almond flour gets hydrated and creamier.

Add lemon juice just before the next step. (adding pasta)

Step4

Drain al-dente pasta.

(I usually only use tongs not a sieve to save starchy water just in case it needed in the next step to adjust the salt level)

Scoop pasta noodles from the pot to transfer into the sauce.

Let pasta noodles absorb enough sauce.

Step5

Garnish with grated lemon peel, basil leaves ,chili flakes and grated almond.
