Pasta alla Genovese

Ingredients

• 3 eggs yolks
• 15ml lemon juice
• 0.5ml white pepper (yes ml!)
• 2.5ml tsp salt (yes ml!)
• 113g butter, melted

Directions

1. Put yolks, lemon juice and seasoning in blender.
2. Melt butter in microwave - that much butter should do in 60seconds on medium.
3. Blend the egg mixture on high for 10 seconds or so then add the butter slowly.

The heat from the butter will cook the eggs and create a smooth, glossy mixture ideal for fish or asparagus. If raw eggs are a concern, add 15ml boiling water to ensure egg yolks are cooked.

(If keen to save washing up, use a hand blender.)

Serve as soon as it is ready.
