Rocket pesto (for crab etc.)

This week I made a rocket sauce with vinegar and oil, a bit like a pesto, then served it in a green moat around a pile of freshly picked white crab flesh. Stuff a handful of each in the food processor and whizz in enough oil to make a thinnish sauce. Sharpen it up with white-wine vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice. The faint bitterness of the dressing that comes from the rocket leaves is just what the sweet white crabmeat needs.

Lemon and Cream sauce for pasta

For a simple cream sauce to serve with fresh pasta, gently heat double cream then add unsalted butter and Sicilian Lemon Juice. Pour over the pasta and scatter with chopped fresh parsley and shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.
