This pasta with a mascarpone and lemon sauce is ready in no time and tastes wonderfully creamy and fresh. There is no need to cook the sauce; simply whisk it together and let it rest. It is a dish that will win over anyone who enjoys simple food.
Whisk the mascarpone with the lemon juice and zest, add the Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. Leave the sauce to rest at room temperature, or place the bowl (if it is heatproof) on a pan of salted water instead of a lid, before bringing the water to the boil and adding the pasta.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain it and immediately add it to the bowl with the sauce, then mix.
Serve with Parmesan shavings and rocket, decorated with crushed pepper. Something extra: it is even better if you add a large handful of finely chopped rocket directly to the mascarpone sauce.
