Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pound (3/4 box) spaghetti
Coarse salt
1 lemon
1 1/2 cups finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3-5 tablespoons of pasta water, to thin
Handful fresh basil leaves (from 4 leafy stems)

Steps:

  • Boil the spaghetti in salted boiling water, according to the package directions.
  • Meanwhile, using a Microplane, grate the zest from the lemon into a large mixing bowl. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl (I like to use the grater as a strainer-one less thing to clean). Add the 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, pepper, and a pinch of salt, and mix in the olive oil to form a wet paste.
  • When the spaghetti is perfectly cooked, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the cooking water to the lemon and cheese mixture. Add the spaghetti to the bowl and toss thoroughly, adding another tablespoon or 2 of pasta water if necessary so that the sauce coats each strand. Roughly tear in the basil leaves.
  • Serve each portion with a sprinkle of coarse salt, a fresh grind of black pepper, and a few gratings of extra Parmesan.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti. The sauce is simple to make and the lemon and Parmesan add a lot of flavor. I would recommend adding a bit of red pepper flakes for a little extra kick.

This dish was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The sauce was creamy and rich, and the Parmesan added a nice touch of saltiness. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly. Overall, it's a good recipe, but I would
