Marcella Hazan's

A deceptively simple, classic Mediterranean recipe from one of my fave chefs. Even better if you make fresh pasta, but dried pasta is super,too.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons butter
2 lemons, zest of, finely chopped, No Pith, just the yellow part
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for the table

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, bring the cream and butter to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the lemon juice and the zest and reduce the volume by almost half.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Have your cooked and drained pasta (I like fettucine for this one -- ) ready to go.
  • Add the pasta to your skillet with the sauce and toss to coat over medium heat.
  • Add the cheese and toss for a few more seconds.
  • Serve with additional cheese.
  • Note: Marcella calls for the zest of 4 (!) lemons, but I thought it a bit over the top -- just me.
