Fettuccine with Meyer Lemon Cream
- Fresh Pasta Dough (page 249) or 8 ounces store-bought fresh fettuccine
- Semolina flour, if using fresh dough
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- Grated zest of 2 Meyer lemons
- 2 tablespoons fresh Meyer lemon juice
- 2-ounce block Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Coarsely ground black pepper
- If using dough, roll the dough through a pasta machine on each setting from widest to narrowest.
- Roll once more through the narrowest setting.
- Cut the dough into 12-inch-long sheets with a sharp knife, then pass the sheets through the fettuccine cutter.
- Toss with semolina flour to prevent sticking.
- You can cover the pasta with a damp paper towel, then plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the cream, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
- Pour 1 cup of the mixture into a large, deep skillet.
- Boil it rapidly, stirring frequently, until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes.
- After the sauce has reduced for 5 minutes, cook the fettuccine in the water until al dente, about 3 minutes.
- Drain the pasta well and add to the lemon cream.
- Reduce the heat to low and toss until well coated.
- Add the remaining cream mixture and the lemon juice and continue tossing until well coated.
- Divide among 4 shallow bowls.
- Grate the cheese directly over the pasta, forming a little mound.
- Grind a generous dose of pepper over the pasta.
- Serve immediately.
