1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground

Directions:

1. Place all the ingredients in food processor and process until pureed.
2. Toss with you favorite pasta choice (we chose ravioli) about 30-60 seconds or until heated through.
