Lemon-Garlic Spaghetti

By shelliec

Ingredients

• 4 oz dry spaghetti
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 lemon
• 2 tbsp pine nuts
• 5-6 basil leaves, chiffonaded

Preparation

Step 1

First, start your garlic oil. Pour in olive oil and chopped up garlic into a small frying pan and let it cook over low, until the garlic starts to brown on edges. Immediately remove from heat and reserve. While that’s starting up, boil up some spaghetti.

Chiffonade some basil leaves. Here I have pathetically limpy basil leaves, but fresh is, as usual, the best.

Take cheese and pinenuts, then dump it into a large bowl, with the garlic oil, garlic chunks and all. Squeeze in lemon juice.

Throw in the spaghetti and toss until well combined. Plate, crack some black pepper on it, and nom.
