HOW TO MAKE LEMON SPAGHETTI, IF YOU LIKED IT SAY HELLO
- 1 lb Barilla Spaghetti
- 2 fresh lemons
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese freshly grated
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1/3 cup fresh basil chopped
-
Grate lemon peels and place lemon zest in a small bowl. Juice the lemons into a separate bowl. Whisk the oil, lemon juice, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and blend.
-
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally until tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid.
-
Add the spaghetti to the lemon sauce, and toss with the basil and lemon zest. Toss the pasta with enough reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten.
-
Season the pasta with more salt and pepper to taste and serve.
