raw material
This pasta sparkles when cooked with fresh or whole spices. I’ll explain what to look out for here.
See the recipe card below for details on all US and metric measurements.
- Pasta + salt water — I recommend spiralizing the pasta so that the flavored herb olive oil spreads throughout the pasta dish.I like Dececo Because of their high quality pasta. Barilla They are available all over the world and the quality is pretty good.
- coriander — Super fresh parsley. You can use Italian flat parsley or curly parsley, or a mix of both.
- Black pepper ——Freshly crushed can best release the fruity aroma. Consider black pepper the main ingredient in this dish.
- Salt
- olive oil – get cold pressed olive oil. Avoid using pomace olive oil. High-quality olive oil adds fruity flavor and spice to your pasta.
- parmesan cheese — Try buying real Parmigiano Reggiano Italian hard cheese. It’s not cheap, but it definitely makes this dish special. If you can’t get real aged Parmesan, you can buy regular Parmesan from the grocery store, but know that this is just processed cheese.
- lemon juice and lemon zest — Buy lemons that have not been sprayed with pesticides because you want to use the peels in your food.

instruct
Boil pasta
-
Pour the water into the pot and add the salt and mix. Keep covered over medium-high heat until water boils.
10 cups of water, 1 teaspoon salt
-
Stir the pasta into the hot boiling water and mix well. Cook pasta, uncovered, over medium-high heat for about 8-12 minutes, until desired texture (meal or tender) is achieved (follow pasta package directions). Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
3½ cups pasta
-
Strain the pasta when it’s done cooking.
Preparing Pasta Meal
-
While the pasta is boiling, prepare the fresh ingredients. Zest and juice the lemon. Put your passion aside.
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
Cut off the parsley stems and chop the garlic into small pieces.
½ bunch parsley
-
Have all ingredients ready, including oil and seasonings.
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, Salt, 2 tablespoons olive oil
-
Pour oil into pasta. Add the chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
notes
- choose one spaghetti Type what you like. I recommend spiral pasta, fusilli pasta or rotini pasta shape For this dish, because the olive oil and seasonings cover the spiralized pasta type well.
- ½ bunch coriander With stems = 1 cup stemless loose parsley or ½ cup chopped parsley, or 30 grams chopped parsley.
- for the best quality olive oilget Cold pressed small batch production. If you need to save on a budget, buy extra virgin olive oil from an affordable but well-known brand. Avoid pomace olive oil as it is highly refined, artificially flavored, colored, and may not contain real olives.
- parmesan cheese If you eat a plant-based diet, you have options. I like to add fresh grated parmesan cheese.If you want quality, just get parmesan cheese From Italy.If your budget is limited, you can use parmesan cheese Buy it from the store, but know that it’s not Parmesan, and Parmesan doesn’t exist in Italy.
- grind your lemon peel Use a knife to peel the lemon. When using lemon peels in food, use only untreated (pesticide-free) lemons. Bio or organic labels sometimes also contain no pesticides, but this is not the case around the world. Please check your country’s organic food laws.

Service philosophy
Lemon parsley and olive oil are relatively light fresh summer flavors, and the simplicity of this Mediterranean-inspired dish should be boldly emphasized.
Therefore, I prefer to keep it simple and enhance the flavor of the dish with a small vegetable side salad.
a small White radish salad,A shredded carrot salad,A Basic kohlrabi salad,A Shredded radish salad or a lettuce salad Can greatly enhance the quality of your meals.
Add to Homemade Crunchy Baguettes Or whole wheat bread, like mine Spelled breadand you’re ready for a complete and satisfying meal.
I use bread to soak up the excess olive oil. That’s great!
store
Store leftovers in an airtight container. I like to use rectangular glassware that closes with a flexible clip lid (IKEA style).
These glass containers can be stacked on top of each other in the refrigerator or freezer. They can be placed in the oven to reheat food or placed in the microwave.
Parsley pasta will keep in the refrigerator for about 7 days.
Shake the airtight container to combine the olive oil and seasonings with the pasta, then open and serve the paste.
This is a great weekday work lunch prep meal, and you can also freeze the prepared pasta in batches.
To reheat from the freezer, simply heat in a nonstick pan in the oven, microwave, or on the stove top.
To defrost and reheat from frozen, place pasta in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as directed, or warm frozen pasta gradually and warm in the oven.
