Ingredients
- ¾ pound angel hair pasta cooked
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 2 lemons juiced (about 1/3 cup)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- In large skillet on low heat, add oil, garlic and red pepper flakes. Heat for several minutes, add lemon juice, vegetable broth and heavy cream. Allow to heat thoroughly, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Add parmesan cheese and allow to melt.
- Add cooked pasta, mix sauce thoroughly to coat the pasta. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a big skillet to make the sauce in. Then, when the pasta is done cooking, you can pop it all into the skillet and serve from there! My favorite skillet is a 12-inch Stainless Steel version, so fantastic for so many recipes!
- If you don't have vegetable stock (and you're not a vegetarian), chicken stock works great in this recipe as well!
- Use a good parmesan cheese, preferably shredded (not grated). The tanginess of the cheese really shines in this pasta dish.
- To add more or less "heat" adjust the amount of red pepper flakes. My family likes just a pinch, but if you enjoy things a bit spicier, add more!
- When I'm out of fresh garlic, I always have a jar of chopped garlic in my refrigerator. Perfect in a recipe like this one. If you're using the garlic from a jar, you'll need about 2 teaspoons to equal 4 cloves of fresh garlic.
