Creamy Lemon Pasta

Ingredients

• 12 ounces wide egg noodles
• Zest and juice of 2 lemons; zest cut in very thin strips 1 inch long
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Lots of freshly ground black pepper

6 servings

Preparation

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles, and stir to separate. Cook for 8 minutes or until tender. Drain, then return to the cooking pot.
2. Just before noodles are done, in a small saucepan combine the lemon zest, cream, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until cream comes to a boil.
3. Pour cream mixture over drained noodles, and add the lemon juice. Stir to coat. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until all the liquid is absorbed, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with additional pepper, if desired.
