    Lemon Pasta

    Recipe Introduction


    This pasta has a delicate lemon flavor that makes a perfect starter before a

    seafood entree. Best of all, it can be put together in just minutes.


    List of Ingredients




    Serves 4-6

    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

    Recipe



    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.
