Ingredients

  • 300 gr dried egg Tagliatelle
  • 60 gr unsalted butter
  • 40 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 blond onion or 3 shallots
  • 100 ml dry white wine
  • 1 unwaxed lemon
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • fresh flat leaf parsley finely chopped
  • salt and black pepper

Instructions

  • Wash the lemon well and grate the zest, avoiding the white part which is very bitter. Remove the remaining zest and cut the lemon into thin slices.
  • In a non-stick pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat, then add the sliced lemon and cook until golden brown.
  • Add sugar and cook until caramelized.
  • Finely slice the onion and fry it in a large pan with the oil until golden. Season with salt.
  • Pour in the wine, let it evaporate and then add the lemon sauce.
  • Cook the tagliatelle in boiling salted water. Drain them 2 minutes before the time indicated on the package, reserving a little cooking water and add them directly to the pan with the sauce.
  • Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and, stirring constantly, stir the noodles until cooked, adding the cooking water if necessary.
  • Serve immediately with a sprinkling of pepper and grated lemon zest.
