    Lemon Pasta


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 pound long pasta
    1 cup fresh chopped parsley
    2 medium cloves of garlic, minced
    1/2 cup olive oil
    zest & juice of two lemons
    3/4 cup toasted pine nuts
    salt & pepper
    garnish: lemon wedges

    Mix together the oil, garlic, parsley and lemon zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add the toasted pine nuts, stir well, and allow to sit for a couple of hours for the flavors to meld. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until it is al dente. Just before draining, remove a small cup of pasta water. Drain the pasta, and return it to the pot with the lemon sauce over high heat. Add a little pasta water to prevent it from drying out. As soon as it is piping hot, remove from the heat and serve. Scoop the pine nuts off the bottom of the pot to top the pasta, and serve with a wedge of lemon. Optional: Grilled shrimp are very tasty on top of this pasta too. Serves 4 to 6.
