Ingredients for 8 people

1 Pound Barilla® Organic Spaghetti
2/3 Cup Olive Oil
2/3 Cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly Grated
2 Fresh Lemons
Salt to taste
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly Ground
1/3 Cup Fresh Basil Chopped

Instructions

Juice the lemons to yield 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice
Grate lemon peels to yield 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Whisk the oil, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in a large bowl to blend

Set the lemon sauce aside

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil

Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes

Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid

Add the spaghetti to the lemon sauce, and toss with the basil and lemon zest

Toss the pasta with enough reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten

Season the pasta with more salt and pepper to taste

Transfer to bowls and serve
