EXTREME LEMON PASTA
A very lemony pasta that can be eaten as a main meal with a salad and toasted bread, or as a side dish with chicken or seafood. It's especially delicious served with pan seared shrimp. I counted a tablespooon of lemon juice/zest as the yield from one medium lemon. So the amount can be a little under- or over if you like it really sour!

- Turn heat to med-high. Bring butter and cream to a gentle boil. It may curdle but will smooth out later.

- Drain the pasta; pour it into the sauce and gently toss pasta with lemon sauce.
- Grate parmesan over top, add the basil, and gently toss again.
- To serve, plate the Lemon Pasta and garnish with more parmesan and sprinkle toasted pine nuts over.
