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!!!!

This is something that I would never have thought of making in a million years, what made you think of doing something like this?
