Jeff’s wine pairing: “This recipe is so easy and so good. The key element in this dish for wine pairing is concerned is the lemon which gives it a fresh quality. The rosemary also gives a fresh, herbaceous quality, both of which are found in Sauvignon Blanc. Our Covenant Red C Sauvignon Blanc would be perfect for this dish.”

Dried rosemary makes a reasonable substitute, but it won’t have quite the same vibrant flavor. You can make the sauce in the time it takes to cook the pasta. (Remember that fresh pasta cooks faster than dried pasta.)

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, and Parmesan.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes for dried pasta, 4 minutes for fresh pasta. Drain the pasta in a colander and shake dry.

Add the pasta to the bowl with the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
