Nice fresh lemon taste, quick and easy. This is a favorite recipe that my sister and best friend always ask me to prepare when I come home. It is a big hit in small dinner parties, but could not be easier to prepare. Ingredients:
1 lb penne pasta |
1/4 cup butter |
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon lemon zest |
1/2 cup light cream |
1 tablespoon parmigiano-reggiano cheese |
1 dash pepper |
salt |
Directions:
1. In a large pot put the water to boil for the pasta.
2. In a large saucepan melt the butter until is starts to foam, add the lemon juice and let it reduce a bit, maybe 5 minutes.
3. Set aside.
4. When the pasta is ready, drain and keep aside.
5. Return the lemon sauce to the stove and add all of the cream and let it reduce by a half.
6. Mix the pasta with the cream sauce, add the cheese, salt and pepper to taste.
7. garnish with fresh parsley stems,.
