Cooking method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
2. Rub the leg of lamb with half a lemon, salt and pepper and dried herbs.
3. Place in a roasting tin containing the olive oil, sprinkle with the fresh herbs, and add the garlic cloves around the bottom of the tin. Place in the oven.
4. After 20 minutes turn the oven down to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 and roast for 1 hour 30 minutes.
5. 45 minutes before the end of the roasting time, add the hilopittes (egg noodles) into the roasting tin.
6. Stir in the lemon juice, add water to cover and return to oven.
7. Check after 20 minutes to see if a little more water is required to just cover the pasta.
8. Ready to serve.
