I prepared this simple dish last night. My family loved it… I always dip my pasta in the juices from my chicken francese, so why not make a similar sauce for pasta ?
Ingredients:
2 ?3 cup olive oil
2 ?3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1?2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
3?4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1?2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
1?3 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
In a large bowl, combine the oil, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, 3 ?4 teaspoon of salt, and 1?2 teaspoon of pepper and whisk together to blend. Set the lemon sauce aside. Next, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the spaghetti to the lemon sauce, and toss with the basil and lemon zest. Toss the pasta with some of the reserved cooking liquid, 1?4 cup at a time, to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste if needed. Transfer to bowls and serve.

Maybe you can help me out with something…? I want to order all of my food online from now on because of various reasons, but I don’t know where to go for quality food. I have tried 2 companies so far, Fresh Dining, and and Celebrity Foods, but I wanna get others I can try out. Do you know of any? The main thing I’ve ordered so far is steak. I guess you can say, I’m a steak junkie. LOL!!! From what I have found out (from what I have ordered so far) I think I am able to regulate the quality of beef I buy. I hate going to a store and getting that crappy slab of beef that I have to cut down until there is like nothing left. Hahaha!!!! (its so true though) Anyhow, sorry that I made this comment so long. If you can help me out or point me in a direction where I might find more quality foods online, I would greatly appreciate it. Have a good day or night! (depending on when you read this) LOL!!!!

I’ve tried pasta and some kind of lemon juice sauce before and it was very good. This recipe sounds yummy and simple, I will definitely try it.
