Preparation

Step 1

In a lag pot, cook spaghetti in salted, boiling water until al dente. Place colander over a large serving bowl, then drain the spaghetti into it (hot water will warm bowl). Pour water from bowl, wipe bowl dry, them empty spaghetti into it.

Meanwhile, combine cheese and lemon juice in a small mixing bowl. Gradually beat in olive oil until mixture becomes thick and creamy and cheese "melts" into oil. Season with salt and pepper, stir in lemon zest.

Pour sauce over cooked spaghetti in serving bowls, toss thoroughly. Add basil, toss again and serve.
