Linguine with lemon and caviar is a delicious and elegant pasta dish that is perfect for special occasions or a fancy dinner party. This dish is simple to prepare, but the combination of flavors is sure to impress your guests.
To make this dish, start by cooking the linguine in a large pot of salted boiling water until it is al dente. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce by melting butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, then add lemon juice and zest, heavy cream, and caviar. Stir the sauce until it is heated through and the caviar is evenly distributed.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss the pasta until it is coated in the sauce, then serve immediately with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and additional caviar on top.

kcalGremolada traditionally consists of minced garlic, parsley, and lemon zest. We’ve added lemon juice and orange zest to bring even more citrus flavor to the dish. The garlic here is raw and the quantity generous; feel free to cut back.
Ingredients
Grated zest from 2 large lemons (about 2 teaspoons)
Grated zest from 1 orange (about 2 teaspoons)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1 pound linguine
Directions
- In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, mix together the grated lemon and orange zests, the garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain and toss with the sauce.
Notes
