Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
3/4 pound large shell pasta
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, until the shallot is tender, about 3 minutes. Add the cannellini beans and olives and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pasta, lemon zest and juice and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Toss well, gradually adding the remaining cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Stir in 1/4 cup each Parmesan and parsley. Divide the pasta among bowls and top with the remaining Parmesan and parsley.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your pasta will taste. Use fresh lemons, good quality olive oil, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture for cooked pasta. It should be slightly firm to the bite, not mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the pasta, make sure to use a large pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Save some pasta water: Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. This can be used to thin out the sauce or to add moisture to the pasta if it becomes too dry.
  • Add the sauce to the pasta, not the other way around: This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the pasta before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.

Pasta with lemon olive oil is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal.
