Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese plus more to garnish
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 12 ounces penne pasta cooked according to package directions
- parsley to garnish (optional)
- capers to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the heavy cream.
- When the mixture begins to bubble, add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is well blended.
- Mix in the lemon juice and lemon zest and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the prepared sauce and mix well.
- Garnish with some additional Parmesan cheese, parsley, or a few capers, if desired.
Notes
- The key to this dish is timing. Adding the lemon at the very end prevents the acid from curdling the cream while still infusing the sauce with bright flavor. For a more intense lemon flavor without added acidity, increase the amount of zest rather than juice. When zesting, remember that the oils in the skin contain the most concentrated flavor, so press firmly enough to capture these oils without grating into the bitter white pith.
