Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound Linguine, uncooked
  • 1/4 cup butter (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic or 4 cloves (finely chopped)
  • Juice and zest from 1 lemon
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil
  • 1 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cups water

Instruction

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and cook garlic for 30 seconds to a minute, just until fragrant (careful, as it burns quickly).
  • Add water, linguine, remaining butter, lemon juice and zest and salt and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce to medium. Continue to cook pasta until nearly all water is evaporated, stirring often to keep pasta from sticking, about 8-9 minutes. (If pasta needs more cooking time, add a little more hot water).
  • Remove from heat and stir in about 3/4 cup cup shredded Parmesan Cheese and fresh herbs.
  • Divide into bowls and garnish with remaining Parmesan, freshly cracked black pepper and a quick squeeze of lemon juice (option).
