Spaghetti With Melon Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Fill a pot for the pasta with about 6 quarts of water, place over high heat and bring to a boil.
  • Cut away the rind of the melon down to the orange flesh. Cut the melon in half, discard the seeds and cut the melon into ½-inch dice. Put the butter in a 12-inch skillet and place over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted completely, add the melon and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the melon begins to break down and
  • most of the liquid it releases has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
  • Add about 2 tablespoons salt to the boiling pasta water, add the spaghetti and stir until all the strands are submerged. Cook until al dente.
  • Add the tomato paste and lemon juice to the melon and stir well. Add the cream and cook until the sauce thickens and reduces by about a third, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • When the pasta is done, drain well, toss with the sauce and the Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve at once.
