Linguine with Lemon and Tomatoes

Linguine pasta with lemon and tomatoes is the best way to add freshness and color to your platter. It is easy to make and fancy enough to serve to your dinner guests. It contains simple ingredients that you may find lying around in your pantry. So, let’s take a look at how to make this appetizing pasta.

Ingredients:

  • 4 ounces linguine pasta
  • 1 ½  cups fresh cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh basil
  • ¾ cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pasta water

Instructions:

  • Boil the linguine pasta in a large pot. Follow the instructions on the pack. Make sure the water is 2-3 inches higher than the pasta to cook properly. To avoid any sticking, add a few drops of olive oil, stir it occasionally, and some salt for taste.
  • Strain the pasta, when al dente, and reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. Wash the strained pasta with cold water and set aside.
  • Add 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a separate sauté pan over medium-low heat, make sure there is enough room for later to add the pasta in and add 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp salt, 2 tbsp ground black pepper, 1 tsp of dried thyme and sauté.
  • Add in 1 and a half cup of fresh cherry tomatoes, cut in halves, 2 tbsp of lemon juice, and ½ cup of pasta water. Stir till tomatoes are soft.
  • Toss the boiled pasta in the pan and add ¾ cup of shredded parmesan cheese. Cook it thoroughly over medium-low heat. The cheese will add a creamy texture to the pasta.
  • Add 3 tbsp of chopped fresh basil and ½ tsp of lemon zest to the pasta and give a final stir.
  • Dish the pasta in a big bowl or separate servings and enjoy.

Moist Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake

Moist Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake

Ingredients:

3/4 cup or 175 g softened butter
2/3 Cup or 150 ml Milk
1 cup or 200 g regular sugar
2 Large eggs (lightly beaten)
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
1 cup or 150 g Frozen Blueberries (Tossed in flour)
1 3/4 cups or 225 g Plain / All purpose flour (sieved)
2 Teaspoons baking powder
1/4 Teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 170c,  325F. Grease and line your baking tin. See here for how to line. ** Please note, if using a Bundt tin, be sure to grease it very well as it can be hard to get the cake out of such a shaped tin.

2. Get all your ingredients ready, i.e zest and juice the lemon, sieve the flour, and add the salt and baking powder to the flour etc.

3. Start with making the cake batter by creaming the butter and sugar until a pale light colour. Place the blueberries in a bag and add a couple of tablespoons of flour. Give it a toss so the blueberries are coated. This will stop them from sinking to the bottom during baking.

4. Slowly add the beaten eggs to the mixer, on a low speed setting, a bit at a time. If the mixture starts to curdle or split, add a spoonful of your sieved flour, keep on adding the eggs, and a bit of flour if necessary, until all the eggs are added.

5. Add the milk with half of the flour, keeping the mixer on a slow speed. Once combined, add the lemon juice, and zest, the rest of the flour. Right at the end, fold in the blueberries.

6 Transfer the cake mixture to the greased and lined loaf tin. Place in the oven for 1 hr to 1 hr and 5 minutes, check after 1 hour. Test if done by placing a skewer in the centre of the cake and make sure it comes out clean. Every oven is different so cook times will vary a little.
***** Please note, if using a Bundt tin, cook time is 45 minutes.

7. Have a cup of tea and wait!
