    List of Ingredients




    Basil-Lemon Bowties


    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 medium-size clove garlic -- minced
    1 8-ounce package medium-size bowties
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
    1/2 bunch basil (about 12 large leaves)
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
    1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan

    Recipe




    Bring large pot of salted water to a boil.

    Add bowties and cook according to package instructions.

    Stack 5 to 6 basil leaves at a time, roll them up tight and slice across the roll, spacing cuts 1/8-inch apart or less. Repeat with more leaves until quantity reaches firmly packed 1/2 cup.

    Heat oil in a large skillet over low heat for 1 minute. Add garlic and sauté, stirring often, 1 minute. Remove from heat.

    Add well-drained bowties and toss well until coated with garlic-oil mixture. Add lemon juice and zest, basil, salt, and pepper, and toss until basil wilts.

    Divide pasta among 4 large heated plates, top each portion with 1 tablespoon grated cheese and serve.
