Quick & Easy Lemon Spaghetti Recipe

Quick & Easy Lemon Spaghetti Recipe


Ingredients:
  • 1 lb Barilla Spaghetti
  • 2 fresh lemons
  • 2/3 c extra virgin olive oil
  • 2/3 c Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, freshly grated
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/3 fresh basil, chopped

Directions:
  • Grate lemon peels and place lemon zest in a small bowl. Juice the lemons into a separate bowl. Whisk the oil, lemon juice, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and blend.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally until tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid.
  • Add the spaghetti to the lemon sauce, and toss with the basil and lemon zest. Toss the pasta with enough reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten.
  • Season the pasta with more salt and pepper to taste and serve.
