Units
Scale
- 8 ounces linguine or pasta of your choice
- 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic paste or 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup (150 ml) heavy or double cream
- 1 ounce (3 tablespoons) grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt, and cook your pasta according to the packet instructions.
- In a skillet, melt your butter over medium low heat, then add the garlic, olive oil, and zest and juice of your lemon. Cook until fragrant.
- Stir in the cream and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to bubble gently for 3-5 minutes to thicken.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to your liking. Turn the heat off under the sauce.
- When the pasta is ready, transfer it directly from the pasta pot to the skillet with the sauce using tongs or a pasta spoon. There will be more pasta water transfered over, but we want that. Toss the pasta in the sauce, and if it needs thinning, add in a couple of spoonfuls of pasta water.
