Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cream - In a small pot add the cream, lemon zest, juice and just let it cook on medium to low. It will slightly reduce. Just let it simmer for about 15 minutes while you make everything else.
  2. Then in a separate pot (I use the pot I am going to cook the spaghetti in so I don't dirty another pot). Just heat heat up the butter olive oil on medium heat and then saute the garlic and shallot. Cook just 2-3 minutes until lightly sauteed and soft. Add that to the cream and lemon zest mixture.
  3. Pasta - Just cook it accordingly to directions. Use the same pot that we did the shallots and garlic inches Most will take just 8-10 minutes is all once it comes to a boil. Angel hair cooks very quickly.
  4. Cheese - add the cheese to the cream to slightly melt and cook just a minute. The heat of the pasta will melt the cheese.
  5. Dinner time - drain the pasta and add the cream sauce, bread crumbs and fresh herbs. Toss and garnish with the fresh lemon slices and enjoy!
