Lemon Chive Pasta With Creamy Lemon Pasta Sauce

Step 1

Cook pasta in a pot of rapidly boiling salted water until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Save 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water. Drain and rinse with warm water.

Step 2

In a large skillet heat olive oil. When warm add garlic and red pepper flakes. Add wine and lemon zest. Boil to reduce the wine by half, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Stir in the heavy cream and 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. When warm, add lemon juice and season with salt.

Step 4

Serve sauce over individual plates of pasta. Garnish with basil and Parmesan cheese.
