Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Loved this. I zested the entire lemon and would do so again. The sauce was nice and creamy, but slightly grainy just because there was so much cheese (not complaining). Used maybe 4 Tbsp pasta water. Served with asparagus.

    We thought this was delicious, and really easy to make. I didn’t have quite enough Parmesan but it didn’t matter.

    This was a great warm weather pasta dish. It was easy to put together, required minimal cooking (just the pasta) and had bright flavour. I think my lemon didn't yield quite enough juice so my cheese mixture was a little dry until I added some pasta cooking water to make a paste.
