Lemon Spaghetti

Kankana Saxena

Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated plus extra for garnish)
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • ½ pound spaghetti
  • ½ cup cilantro (use fresh basil, if you have an option)
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk oil, cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper to blend.
  • In a large deep pot, boil some water with salt.
  • Add Spaghetti to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender. It should take about 8 to 10 mins.
  • Drain the Spaghetti once it is cooked and save the pasta water. You can add this later to moisten the Spaghetti.
  • Add the Spaghetti to the lemon sauce. Then, add chopped cilantro and lemon zest.
  • If it's too dry, you can add some pasta water.
  • Garnish with some more grated Parmesan cheese and serve hot.
