I saw her make this and I was amazed at how simple it was. It's like being a gourmet cook yet fooling everyone-. Tastes so light and fresh, but yet so satisfying for those pasta cravings we sometimes get. Very Italian. Yum. Ingredients:
1 lb spaghetti |
2/3 cup olive oil |
2/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated (fresh is best) |
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons, and try not to use the store-bought juice) |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground if possible |
1 tablespoon lemon zest |
1/3 cup fresh basil (chopped) |
Directions:
1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water according to package directions (until al-dente') Stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, Parmesan cheese and lemon juice in a large bowl.
3. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
4. Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, and add the reserved cooking liquid and toss again. (Adding 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten.).
5. Season with the salt & pepper. Garnish with lemon zest and chopped basil.
