Creamy Lemon Pasta

rigatoni

butter

flour

garlic (minced)

chicken broth/veg broth

lemon juice lemon

heavy/whipping cream

parmesan cheese

Salt & pepper (to taste)

parsley & extra parm (optional)

Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.

When the pasta is about 10 minutes away from being done, add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it melts, sprinkle the flour in and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring fairly often.

Add in the garlic, followed by the broth (or wine) and lemon juice + zest. Let it bubble for 1 minute.

Whisk in the cream and cook it for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened up to your liking.

Stir in the parmesan cheese and take the skillet off the heat. Season with salt &amp; pepper as needed (I am generous with both).

Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss until coated (I like to add a tablespoon or so of the pasta water to the sauce prior to draining it, especially if it&#039;s become a tad too thick). Garnish with more parmesan and a bit of chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Creamy Lemon Pasta is made with fresh lemon, garlic, cream, butter, parmesan cheese, and spices and all tossed with your favorite type of pasta. A light and creamy sauce that highlights fresh lemons!

Pasta of choice*

Tablespoons Butter

Garlic Cloves ((minced))

Heavy Cream

Lemon Zest**

Tablespoons Lemon

Red Pepper Flakes ((plus more for garnish))

Salt

Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Pasta Water

Parmesan Cheese

In a large pot, heat water over high heat. Generously salt the water as this infuses flavor into the pasta as it cooks.

While the pasta is cooking, carefully scoop out 1 cup of pasta water and set it aside to add to the sauce later.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and let it begin to melt. Add in garlic and saute for ONLY 1 minute. Add heavy cream and stir. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. I suggest using a whisk to continually stir to make it extra creamy. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken -about 5 minutes.

Add in parmesan cheese, only 1 Tablespoon at a time, to avoid clumping. Stir well with whisk after each addition.

Stir in 3/4 cup of pasta water into the sauce. Let it thicken for about 3-4 minutes. Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper and lemon zest, if needed.

Toss the drained cooked pasta with the lemon cream sauce. Garnish with red pepper flakes, lemon zest, grated parmesan cheese.

This recipe for lemon asparagus pasta combines tender asparagus and grilled chicken with pasta in a lemon cream sauce. It's a delicious and hearty entree that everyone will want seconds of!

Lemon Asparagus Pasta with Grilled Chicken

chicken

asparagus (, ends removed, cut into 1 inch pieces)

linguine pasta ((spaghetti

heavy cream

salt and pepper

lemon zest

lemon juice

Lemon parsley

Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Add the asparagus to the pot during the last 3 minutes of cooking time.

Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta cooking liquid.

In small pot, combine the heavy cream, butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and juice.

Place the pasta and asparagus back into the pot you cooked it in along with the chicken.

Pour the cream sauce over the pasta mixture and toss to coat evenly, adding pasta water if needed to thin the sauce. Stir in the parmesan cheese. Alternatively, you can toss just the pasta with the sauce and arrange the chicken and asparagus over the top of the pasta.

Add more salt and pepper to taste if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices if desired.
