Categories     main dish     side dish

Time 20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb. Pasta (fettuccine, Linguine, Angel Hair)
4 tbsp. Butter
1/4 c. Finely Minced Parsley
1 whole Lemon
Salt And Pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles according to package instructions. (If using angel hair, stop just short of the al dente stage.) Drain and set aside.Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the cooked pasta and cook it around in the butter for a couple of minutes so that a few of the noodles get a little bit of a panfried texture to them, whatever that means. Zest the lemon. Squeeze in the juice, then add the zest of half the lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste, then toss around and serve. Yum!

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 ounces pasta (fettuccine, linguine, angel hair)
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup finely minced fresh parsley
Zest and juice of 1 lemon, or to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth, plus more if needed
1/2 cup dry white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon drained capers
2 cups arugula
Parmesan shavings, for garnish
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the buttery lemon noodles: Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • For the chicken piccata: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides, then dredge in the flour.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes on each side; fry them a little longer if the breasts are thicker, monitoring the oil/butter mixture to make sure it doesn't burn. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  • Add the garlic to the skillet and saute. Pour in the chicken broth and wine, and squeeze in the juice of the lemon. Whisk the sauce, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Allow the sauce to cook and bubble and thicken until reduced by about half. Sprinkle in a little salt and pepper as it's cooking.
  • Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the cream. Add the capers, then cook for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Expect the sauce to have a real tang to it; counter it with a little more broth and cream if it's too strong!
  • To finish the noodles, melt the butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the cooked pasta, along with the parsley. Cook it in the butter for a couple of minutes so that a few of the noodles get a little bit of a pan-fried texture to them. Grate in some lemon zest and squeeze in some lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place a handful of arugula on each plate, some noodles and a chicken breast. Garnish with Parmesan shavings and chopped parsley, then spoon over the sauce.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, and rosemary add a burst of flavor to the noodles. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't Overcook the Noodles: The noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and bland.
  • Use Good Quality Butter: The butter is a key ingredient in this dish, so use the best quality butter you can find. Unsalted butter is the best choice, as it allows you to control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Add the Lemon Juice Gradually: Start by adding a small amount of lemon juice and taste the sauce. Add more lemon juice as needed, until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The noodles will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This buttery lemon parsley noodles recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. The combination of lemon, butter, and parsley is a classic flavor combination that always hits the spot. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion.
