Ingredients
- kosher salt
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted
- 2 garlic peeled and minced, cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- lemon zest from 2
- lemon about 1/3 cup lemon juice, juice from 2
- 16 ounces pasta of choice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup pasta water
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese about 2 ounces, grated, Reggiano
- parsley minced, italian, handful
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- In large skillet, set over medium heat, add the butter. When melted, add the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and a few pinches of salt. Turn off the heat and turn your attention to the pasta.
- Meanwhile, in the pot that’s boiling, add the pasta and cook it until about 1 minute under al dente. We’re going to cook it a bit longer in the pot with the sauce.
- Remove about 1 cup of pasta water. To the sauce, add the heavy cream and 1/2 cup of pasta water. Cook it on a simmer for about 3 minutes. This will thicken the sauce. Add the pasta, along with the cheese and mix vigorously for 1 minute. This will ensure an even coating of the sauce.
- Plate it up and top it with a sprinkling of Italian parsley or black pepper.
