Cook in lightly salted boiling water for 5-7 minutes, until al dente. Drain and let cool.

Whisk in the citrus zest and the butter until emulsified. Add the chopped apricots and gently warm. Toss the noodles in butter. Serve the noodles with apricot sauce, garnished with mint leaves and dusted with powdered sugar.
