Green tagliatelle with lime sauce is a delicious twist on traditional pasta dishes. The vibrant green noodles are made with spinach, giving them a nutritional boost and a beautiful hue. The zesty lime sauce adds a refreshing flavor that perfectly complements the earthy taste of the pasta.

To make the green tagliatelle, start by making the pasta dough. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of semolina flour, and a pinch of salt. In a blender, blend 2 cups of fresh baby spinach leaves until it forms a smooth puree. Add the spinach puree to the dry ingredients and mix until it forms a shaggy dough. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

Once the dough has rested, roll it out using a pasta machine or a rolling pin until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into long, thin strips using a pasta cutter or a sharp knife. Toss the strips with some flour to prevent them from sticking together.

To make the lime sauce, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add 1/2 cup of chicken or vegetable broth and the juice of 2 limes. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let reduce for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in 1 teaspoon of honey and a pinch of red pepper flakes for some sweetness and heat.

Cook the green tagliatelle in a large pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta and toss with the lime sauce. Garnish with some fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

This recipe serves 4 and takes about 45 minutes to prepare. It is a perfect dish for a summer evening, as the lime sauce adds a light and refreshing flavor that won’t leave you feeling heavy. The spinach in the pasta dough also adds some extra vitamins and minerals to your meal.

If you prefer a creamier sauce, you can add some heavy cream or sour cream to the lime sauce. You can also experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor to your liking. Some fresh basil or cilantro would add a nice touch, or you can amp up the heat with extra red pepper flakes.

Green tagliatelle with lime sauce is a unique and flavorful dish that will impress your dinner guests. It is also a great way to sneak some extra veggies into your diet without sacrificing taste. Give this recipe a try and see how it can elevate your pasta game to the next level.
