It's worth the extra effort of one more time. For the people who said t was bitter - please try again - you might have had a bad lemon. It is! I used regular lemon since my grocery store didn't offer a Myer's lemon. My husband and I entertain a lot and we will judge a new recipe based on if it's company worthy.

might as well add some heat if you are going to douse it with copious amounts of pepper.then at the end I added fresh parsley and basil from my herb garden. I tweaked the recipe by adding red pepper flakes to the lemon butter sauce. So lemony - cheesy - and peppery! What intrigued me about this dish was sauteing the entire lemon. Absolutely! Delicious! I even went back for a 3rd helping. This recipe is now a staple in my house.ĭeserving of all 5 stars. I followed the recipe exactly and I ended up with almost no sauce, it all just clung to the pasta and it was wonderful. Once you add the pasta, you will be stirring until your arm feels like it's going to fall off - but you have to. When making the sauce, add the butter pieces one at a time and whisk until each is incorporated, and then whisk some more until your sauce is all put together. Cook the lemon in the butter until it's slightly browned. Try to follow the recipe as is, so you get the desired effect and flavor. I also added peas and shrimp for some protein and greens. When i added the pasta, it took in all of the sauce. I added the 1.1/2 c of pasta water and it seemed soupy.

The lemons were translucent by the time the butter browned which i think eliminated any bitterness. Serve pasta topped with reserved lemon rounds and more Parmesan. Remove from heat and sprinkle with an almost ridiculous amount of pepper (about 2 tsp.) toss once more. at a time to thin (saucier is ideal as it will thicken as it cools). If sauce looks very thick, add more pasta cooking liquid 1–2 Tbsp. Once all of the cheese is added, continue to cook, still stirring, until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy and clings to pasta, about 3 minutes. (This may seem like a lot of liquid, but it will thicken once the remaining ingredients are added.) Add remaining butter a piece at a time, whisking until each piece is incorporated before adding more, until the sauce is emulsified and creamy. Add 1½ cups pasta cooking liquid to butter sauce. Just before pasta is al dente, scoop out 2 cups pasta cooking liquid. Using tongs, transfer one-third of lemon slices to a plate set aside. Add lemon slices and cook, stirring often, until softened and bottom of pot is browned in spots, 5–7 minutes. Meanwhile, heat half of the butter in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium until melted. I'm so sorry.Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling generously salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions (pasta will finish cooking in the sauce). I feel like a peasant for asking for lazy shortcuts, but this sauce would only be used on sandwiches, and not as a true hollandaise substitute. Can I modify a ranch dressing with a little melted butter and lemon juice? Any common pre-made refrigerated cream-based sauces or dressings I can buy and easily modify for a similar taste profile? It was rich and creamy and peppery and almost hit the spot. To begin my research, I ordered ranch dressing on my breakfast bagel this morning. And that certainly is an alternative, and it is quicker, and it is easier, and would taste very similar. The quick and dirty answer to this question is 'buy a premade sauce powder'. So my question is.what is the easiest/quickest way to make a sauce that has an even vaguely-similar taste profile, ideally without carefully whisking over a water bath? This can just be a taste-a-ike or a second-cousin-twice-removed to hollandaise. So if I'm after the most base flavor profile, what makes hollandaise taste like hollandaise.is it the egg? The butter? The lemon juice? I know it's 'all of the above', but if I want to make lazy shortcut taste-alike sauce, what's my best bet? However I'd rather do this COLD, without use of a pot to mix everything into over a stove. I like modifying my nasty fast-food sandwiches with condiments at home and want to start adding a custom hollandaise to recreate the old flavor. It's what made their bagel-based breakfast sandwiches taste so rich. After great contemplation and with a lot of love, they called it 🇧🇷🇪🇦🇫🇦🇸🇹 🇸🇦🇺🇨🇪.

And yet, I hate making hollandaise sauce.īut to give some context to this question, and add to the shame: I was in love with McDonalds' hollandaise. Here's my problem: I love hollandaise sauce. I will try be quite detailed, I hope you don't mind. I should have used an alt account for something so. This is a really shameful question for me.
