Lemon Spaghetti
1 pound spaghetti
2/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water
until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring
occasionally, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the oil,
Parmesan, and lemon juice in a large bowl to blend.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, and the reserved
cooking liquid, adding 1/4 cup at a time as needed to
moisten. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with lemon
zest and chopped basil.
