Duck breast Fish pie Lasagna Spaghetti al limone
cooking pot
food and wine are made for each other

Spaghetti al limone (serves 4)
500g spaghetti
100g coppa or pancetta
250cl double cream
1 lemon
Parmesan
Olive oil

1 Put on large pan of water; add salt and pasta
2 Cut coppa/pancetta into thin strips; heat small pan; squeeze lemon
3 Put coppa/pancetta on to fry gently half way through pasta cooking time; grate cheese
4 Drain pasta and put into warmed bowl; add cream and toss; add coppa/pancetta and lemon and toss
5 Serve with the parmesan
Option: finely grate some of the lemon rind and scatter over the dish

Although very rich in cream this is a surprisingly light and summery dish.

Wine: either pick up on the acidity with Dom les Yeuses Vermentino, or on the cream with Dom de Valensac Chardonnay, or on the meaty/lemon combination with Dom les Yeuses Syrah.
