Ingredients
- 3/4 cups heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
- 2 1/4 cups chicken or vegetable stock divided
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cups Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons cold butter
- 16 ounces thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta dry, do not precook the pasta
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
- Kosher or sea salt to taste
- finely chopped flat-leaf parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Place cream and 2 cups of stock in a large heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a light boil.
- Remove from heat and whisk in lemon juice and zest.
- Add pasta and cook on low heat until pasta begins to soften. Stir continuously so that pasta is evenly coated with the sauce (about 5-10 minutes, depending on how soft you like your pasta).
- Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup parmesan cheese and cold butter.
- Let sit for a few minutes before serving, this will allow the pasta sauce to thicken up and develop that creamy texture.
- Season with salt and pepper and garnish with remaining parmesan cheese and parsley.
Notes
- Make sure when you add the lemon juice and zest that your sauce is not cold, doing so will cause it to curdle.
- Don’t be concerned if your pasta sauce initially appears runny, the starches from the addition of the pasta will thicken it up to the perfect creamy consistency.
- If you find your sauce is too thick, you may choose to thin it out by adding ¼ cup of stock at a time
