……………….Last night I was in the MOOD for LEMON PASTA, and since it’s so easy to make I quickly whipped it up……..You start with a stick of butter and two minced garlic cloves [you can add more if you really love garlic]…..Add a splash of olive oil and turn on med. heat. Have zest from two lemons and the juice of the two lemons mixed together on the side…..When the garlic is translucent, and all of the butter has melted add your zest, lemon juice and 1/2 cup of heavy cream [optional], salt and ground pepper to taste……..Stir and simmer. As this is all cooking cook your pasta in salted water…….I like long wide pasta as shown in the photo…..Put your sauce to the side so it doesn’t burn if your pasta is still cooking…When the pasta is al dente, drain it well and add it into the sauce pan with your lemon sauce and toss, again on med. heat…..It’s now ready to EAT……Add grated cheese and enjoy!…….Very Quick…and…..Very Easy!
Yum! I love lemon pasta. You have turned out to be a wiz in the kitchen! In spring, I like to add some fresh asparagus, diced white onion and a bit of ham to the lemon pasta.
