When top chef Jamie Oliver shares a quick and easy recipe, it's worth giving it a try. Here's how!

What is the ideal pasta dish for late summer – something comforting, that also epitomizes the season? According to British Michelin-starred chef Jamie Oliver, you need exactly three ingredients for the sauce: olive oil, lemon and Parmesan cheese. The dish is quick and easy to prepare and therefore ideal for anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot of time cooking.

Quick and easy is the key

Lemon pasta is a classic of Italian cuisine and is usually refined with cream or butter. Jamie Oliver takes a different approach, however: he reduces the recipe to the bare basics and uses just three ingredients – olive oil, lemon and parmesan – to create a lighter, quicker and surprisingly aromatic version. If you're curious about the celebrity chef's approach, you should definitely give the recipe a try.
