YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Annie Bell’ s rocket and lemon fusilli recipe By Annie Bell - March 13, 2022 I love this lemony sauce and, yes, this is a lot of rocket but it cooks down to nothing when wilted. Red lentil pasta is rich in protein and more nourishing than white, so you don’t need as much. Nassima Rothacker SERVES 4 200g red lentil fusilli (or 350g regular fusilli) 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve 1 banana shallot, peeled and finely chopped Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 1 tbsp juice 200g rocket, a handful reserved to garnish and the rest coarsely chopped 50g freshly grated parmesan, plus fine shavings to serve Sea salt and black pepper Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the pasta, give it a stir and cook according to the packet instructions until just tender. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of oil in another large pan over a medium heat and fry the shallot for a minute or two until softened, then stir in the lemon zest. Add the chopped rocket about a third at a time, stirring until it wilts. Reserving a mug of cooking liquid, drain the pasta using a colander and add it to the pan with the rocket. Add the parmesan, the lemon juice and about half a mug of the cooking water. Gently heat, stirring until the pasta is coated in a creamy sauce (add a little more cooking liquid if needed). Taste for seasoning and serve scattered with the reserved rocket leaves, more parmesan and an extra drizzle of oil.
