Danny'S Lemon Pasta - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 lb fresh egg fettuccine
2 teaspoons grated fresh lemon zest
salt
fresh ground black pepper
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

Melt the butter in a deep, heavy 12-inch skillet and stir in the cream and lemon juice. Remove the skillet from the heat and keep it warm and covered.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking liquid and drain the pasta in a colander. Add the pasta to the skillet with the lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking liquid and toss well. (Add more pasta cooking liquid 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary, to thin the sauce).
Season the pasta with salt and pepper and serve with Parmesan cheese.
