Steps:
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter, thinly sliced lemon, and minced fresh garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring a couple of times, until lemon slices brown and release juices and minced garlic is browned but not burned. Remove from heat and add 2 more tablespoons of butter. Stir until it melts. Remove lemon slices from the skillet.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add pasta and cook al dente according to package instructions. Drain pasta.
- Add hot, drained, and cooked pasta to the cast-iron skillet with butter and garlic. Stir everything well.
- Add 2 more tablespoons of butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir on low-medium heat for a couple of minutes to spread out the cheese among the pasta and melt it a bit. Remove from heat. Taste and season with salt.
- Add half of the fresh chopped basil to hot pasta and mix everything well.
- When ready to serve, top with the remaining half of fresh chopped basil, toasted pine nuts, and cracked black pepper.

BASIL BUTTER CREAM SAUCE
I threw this together one night when I had a craving for something salty and creamy. This is just the recipe for the basic sauce, but you can use it over anything from pasta, veggies, meat, or a combination of them all! This recipe makes alot, but it'll keep in the fridge for a week or so. I always finish all of it up within a week and I'm only one person! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! *Note: Make sure you use Dried Basil only or it wont tast right at all!

BASIL CREAM SAUCE
After a mad search on the net for a recipe for this sauce I had to create my own. This can be reheated in the microwave without the usual cream sauce defects. I just love the light green color and how well it displays over tri color or regular pasta, salmon and grilled chicken. I have been putting this on everything.
