ONE PAN LEMON GARLIC PASTA
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound (16 oz. box) Linguine, uncooked
- 1/4 cup butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic or 4 cloves, finely chopped
- Juice and zest from 1 lemon
- Salt & Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil
- 1 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
- 4 cups water
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and cook garlic for 30 seconds to a minute, just until fragrant (careful, as it burns quickly).
- Add water, linguine, remaining butter, lemon juice and zest and salt and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce to medium. Continue to cook pasta until nearly all water is evaporated, stirring often to keep pasta from sticking, about 8-9 minutes. (If pasta needs more cooking time, add a little more hot water).
- Remove from heat and stir in about 3/4 cup cup shredded Parmesan Cheese and fresh herbs.
- Divide into bowls and garnish with remaining Parmesan, freshly cracked black pepper and a quick squeeze of lemon juice (option).
