Preparation

Step 1

Cook pasta according to directions; drain and set aside.


Add butter and oil to pasta pot; melt over medium-low heat. Add broth; stir and heat through about 1 minute.


Remove pot from heat and add pasta, egg and cheese; toss well so egg coats pasta. Add lemon juice and zest; toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
You’ll need 1 medium lemon for the zest and juice.
