This recipe was inspired by a close look at our coastline, where lemon groves overlook the sea. It was exciting to think of a comfort food like pasta shifted from its comfort zone by an acid palate tang in perfect contrast with the stunning seaside groves, so scented and nuanced with coloured, but with such impetuous fruit.
We extracted all the tree’s aromas from the leaves, we cooked our fedelino in boiling water, blending in the Mediterranean alchemy that yields all the fragrance of the coast, then creaming in acid butter.
