Linguine with Sage and Lemon

I had fun in the morning trawling for a spaghetti recipe on various websites. I stumbled over a Swiss site from one of their mayor supermarket chaines, Migros. There is a huge recipe folder on Migusto. Here I've got the idea.


The easy part of this recipe was, that I had all ingredients at home. Organic lemons, fresh sage and parsley on the balcony and cream in the fridge.
This can be my next go to recipe, when I get home after a busy day.
I had a small piece of a courgette left over and deciced to roast tiny cubes of it in a little oil. That adds some texture and flavour to the pasta sauce.


Recipe for 2:
220 g linguine
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp butter
175 ml double cream
1 organic lemon zest and juice
1/4 bunch of parsley
2 large stalks of sage
Salt and pepper
100 g courgette in 1 cm cubes
1/4 tsp pink pepper berries, crushed


In a small pan saute the courgette cubes in a little oil and get them a bit brown. Set aside.
In the same pan in a little oil fry the washed and dried sage leaves.

Cook the linguine in salted water, drain and save some of the water.
In a bigger pan, heat up the butter, toss in zest, stems from the parsley and juice. When it is heated up, add the cream and season.
Get the courgette in and add some pasta water and add the linguine.


Parsley and pepper berries in.
Finish with sage leaves.
