Lemon and spinach linguine
Mon, 24th Aug 2015
This is a great summer pasta dish. It’s really quick to make and full of the scent of Sicilian lemon groves. It tastes of summer even if there isn’t much sunshine; it’s also hearty enough to fill you up after a day at the beach and really easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 8ozs linguine (or enough for 4 servings)
- ½ bag of baby spinach
- 1 small sweet onion (halved and sliced thin)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Splash white wine
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- Handful of chopped pistachios
- Parmesan to serve

- 2. Sauté the onions in the olive oil with a pinch of salt until soft and golden.
- 3. Add the wine and allow simmering until wine reduces by half.
- 4. Add half the lemon juice and zest and spinach. Stir well to combine.
