Photo: Lemon Spaghetti Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
Directions
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the oil, Parmesan, and lemon juice in a large bowl to blend.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, and the reserved cooking liquid, adding 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with lemon zest and chopped basil.

I added broccoli pieces and slivered almonds to this when serving it to my family. We have two sons in college and they loved this pasta as a side dish with our beef. Excellent flavor and very light! Will make this for company too!

Made this with Radiatori instead of spaghetti because I hate spaghetti. It was extremely easy and very delightful. A great simple dish if you have an abundance of lemons and a lack of time.

So easy and delicious. I toss with blanched, bite-sized asparagus pieces. This is a favorite of my 3y old and 1.5y old.
