I adapted this recipe by substituting fresh lemon juice for olive oil—cutting the fat, but not the flavor, says Cynthia Nardi from Uhrichsville, Ohio.
Ingredients:
4 ounces romano cheese, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 garlic cloves
2-2/3 cups loosely packed fresh basil
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
hot cooked spaghetti
Directions:
1. In a food processor, combine Romano cheese and garlic; cover and process for 30 seconds. Add the basil, nuts, salt and pepper; cover and process until combined, about 15 seconds. While processing, add the lemon juice; process about 15 seconds longer or until combined. Toss the spaghetti. Yield: 5 servings.
