Here's a recipe which can be made with our new and delicious roasted Almond Butter !
Creamy Lemon & Almond Butter Linguine
*(Serves 2–3 | 20 minutes)*
# # # **Ingredients**
* 250 g dried linguine or tagliatelle
* 3 tbsp plain roasted almond butter
* 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
* Zest and juice of 1 lemon
* 200ml pasta cooking water (reserved)
* A small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
* Salt & freshly ground black pepper
* (Optional) Grated Parmesan or vegan “Parmesan”
# # # **Method**
1. **Cook the pasta** in a large pot of salted boiling water until just al dente. Reserve 200ml of the starchy cooking liquid, then drain.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, **whisk together** the almond butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. It’ll be thick at first.
3. **Add 2–3 tbsp** of the hot pasta water to the bowl and whisk until you get a smooth, creamy emulsion. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper.
4. **Toss the drained pasta** into the sauce, adding a some more pasta water if needed so every strand is luxuriously coated.
5. Stir through most of the parsley, then **pile onto warmed plates**.
6. Finish with the remaining parsley, an extra twist of black pepper, and (if using) a light dusting of Parmesan.

# # # **Why It Works**
* **Shows off the almond butter’s nuttiness** without overpowering it.
* **Lemon brightens** and keeps it feeling fresh and light.
* Takes **under 20 minutes**, but tastes like you’ve spent hours.
* **Easy to scale** if you want to add seared scallops, grilled chicken, or wilted greens to make it a more substantial platter.
