Spaghetti Limone' with Roasted Tomato & Duck Liver Sausage


Spaghetti al limone! Spaghetti al limone!
You won't be able to put down your fork, chopsticks or hands until it is all consumed!
Spaghetti Limone has been on my mind with thoughts on how to spice it up. Went to check out what I had in the fridge that will go well with this dish....

butter, cheese, chinese sausage( duck liver - can be found in most Asian markets)
sweet peas, cherry tomatoes, garlic , lemon

cherry tomatoes cut in half and roasted with salt, pepper and oregano

In a pan heat some butter and olive oil, add garlic and saute until fragrant. Add sausage, peas and the roasted tomatoes, stir for a few minutes ( I added a dash of chicken stock ). Oil will be released from the sausages when heated so be gentle with the olive oil & butter.
When pasta is done, drain and add directly to the pan of sauce, toss with cheese and add the lemon zest and juice, finally top it off with more cheese!

Here we have a nice bowl of spaghetti limone with many lovely flavors. There's the tangy sweetness from the roasted tomatoes/peas/lemon, and a mild saltiness with a hint of wine from the chinese duck liver sausage... .mmmmmmmm slurp!

Pasta Lovers ...you know this is one of your favorites!

This dish looks very lovely, simple and delicious. I seldom cook spaghetti. I usualy use fresh Oriental noodles....no need to boil first. The only pasta I ise is the very thin type which is fast to cook & taste quite like bi hoon.
