………………….”LEMON PASTA”……..one of my favorite dishes to make is Lemon Pasta….it’s also a guest pleaser….The “sauce” is easy to make and very quick…….The zest and juice of two lemons [you can add more if you like it really lemony….even a few drops of lemon extract!], heavy cream, butter, olive oil, minced garlic [how much is up to you], salt, ground pepper [again how much is up to you…..Actually, the amount of butter, and cream is all up to you too….There is no science to this….Tasting will be the judge…..I use thick wide pasta….it holds the sauce better…..First cook the pasta and set aside in large bowl….next cook your garlic and oil [don’t burn the garlic!], then add you lemon and heavy cream….constantly stirring….add your salt and ground pepper….When it all starts to thicken it’s done!….Pour sauce over pasta and mix well…..Serve in pasta bowls…If you like you can add a garnish of thin slices of lemon to each dish…it’s pretty!….The final touch is pecorino Parmesean cheese that I serve in a separate bowl. Everyone can add how much they like…..A good COLD white wine goes marvelously with the pasta…..Bon Appetit!
