Lemon and Basil Linguine image

So quick and easy to make. This is really simple but lovely and filling, the fragrances of the basil and the lemon go together so well and it really takes only ten minutes to make as you can grate the parmesan while the pasta is cooking. This recipe is from a newspaper recipe section.
