Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup heavy cream (35% cream)
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano, freshly grated)
1/2 lb fettuccine
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the cream in a small pot until it's just about to come to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the lemon zest. Set aside for 10 minutes. Drain the cream through a sieve to remove the lemon zest.
  • Put a large pot of water to boil; once it comes to a boil add the fettuccine and cook according to package directions.
  • As the fettuccine cook, melt the butter in a large pan (large enough to accommodate the fettuccine). Add the lemon cream and bring to a boil; add a bit of salt and pepper (taste to make sure that it's to your liking; add more salt if necessary). Lower the heat and let the cream simmer; it will reduce slightly and thicken.
  • As soon as the fettuccine are cooked add them to the cream mixture. Immediately add the Parmigiano Reggiano and toss gently until all the fettuccine are covered in the sauce. As you toss the pasta, the melting Parmigiano and the starch from the pasta will combine to thicken the sauce further.
  • Serve the pasta immediately with additional Parmigiano.
  • Enjoy!

Creamy Lemon-Mushroom Pasta image

This is a lovely creamy, but light, pasta dish. The lemon flavor adds a wonderful bright note to the rich sauce and earthy mushrooms. This is a great meatless entrée or side pasta dish - or add some grilled salmon, shrimp, or chicken if you'd like!

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
16 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 small lemon, zested and juiced
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute mushrooms in the pan, adjusting heat as necessary, until golden brown, tender, and they have released their moisture. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper while cooking. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add in lemon zest and juice. Stir to combine. Stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese until combined and melted in. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
  • Add in the cooked pasta and toss in the sauce. Add in some of the reserved pasta water if needed, a little at a time, to thin the sauce so that it coats and sticks to the pasta without being too thick or sticky. It should be a nice creamy consistency.
  • Serve pasta with a sprinkling of minced parsley and an additional sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, if desired.

  • Season to taste: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
