Lemon Parmesan Spaghetti Food

EASY CREAMY PARMESAN LEMON PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente.
• While the water comes to a boil and the pasta cooks, make the sauce.
• Melt the butter in a pan set over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and allow to cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Pour in the cream, sour cream, lemon juice and zest.
• Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
• Reduce the heat then add the Parmesan and parsley. Stir in then season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of cooking water. Add the pasta to the sauce, along with a few spoonfuls of pasta water and toss until the pasta is coated in the sauce and the sauce is creamy. You might need to add more water as the pasta absorbs the sauce and the sauce thickens.
• Serve scattered with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan.

LEMON SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs for al dente.
• Meanwhile, combine the olive oil and lemon zest and juice in a large skillet. When you are about to drain the spaghetti, turn the heat under the skillet to medium. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and transfer to the skillet. Add 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Add the butter and cook, tossing quickly, until the sauce glazes the spaghetti, about 30 seconds; add more cooking water a few tablespoons at a time if the spaghetti seems dry. Add the parmesan and toss to melt; season with salt.
• Divide the spaghetti among bowls. Top generously with more Parmesan and coarse pepper.
