Spaghetti with Lemon Recipe

Adapted from The Seasons of Parmigiano-Reggiano by Nancy Radke.

 

As a lover of Parmigiano-Reggiano and lemon, this is one of my favorite recipes. Quick, simple, perfect.


Lemon spaghetti recipe directions:

1. Add course sea salt to 2 gallons of rapidly boiling water. Stir in pasta and cook until al dente. Drain.

2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saute pan. Add zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. heat gently 1 minute. Toss with pasta.

3. Add basil and Parmigiano-Reggiano and toss until pasta is evenly coated. Serve in warm pasta bowls, finish with drizzle of lemon olive oil, and garnish. Sprinkle with more Parmigiano-Reggiano at the table.
