LEMON SHRIMP ALFREDO

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. When the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add the shrimp and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink in color and cooked, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Quickly remove them from the skillet.
• Add the remaining 10 tablespoons butter and the cream to the same skillet. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, reducing the heat as needed, making sure it doesn't boil. Stir in 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, the lemon zest and garlic. Return the shrimp to the skillet and coat in the sauce, then add the parsley and toss to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Sprinkle over the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and more parsley, and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve straight from the skillet.

BAKED ALFREDO PASTA WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Place the butter in a 9-by-13-inch/3-quart pan or baking dish and transfer it to the oven to melt while the oven heats; remove it from the oven once it's melted.
• In a small bowl, stir together the panko, 1/4 cup Parmesan and the lemon zest. Add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter from the baking pan, stir until the panko is moistened with butter, then season with salt and pepper.
• When the water's boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest. During the last minute of cooking, add the broccoli rabe. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and broccoli rabe.
• Whisk the cream, garlic and pasta water into the melted butter in the baking dish until smooth. Add the remaining Parmesan in large handfuls, vigorously whisking until smooth and combined. Add the pasta, broccoli rabe and half the mozzarella. Taste, and season well with salt and pepper. Stir until very combined.
• Top with the remaining mozzarella, then sprinkle evenly with the panko mixture. Bake until the mozzarella has melted and the panko is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

LEMON AND PEA ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until just short of al dente, 10 or 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the hot skillet. When the butter is melted, add the garlic; cook, stirring often, until soft and fragrant. Add 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then reduce the heat to low.
• When the pasta is ready, lift it out of the water and add it directly to the sauce; reserve the pasta water. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the pasta and stir to combine. Return the heat to medium, add the mascarpone, lemon zest and 3/4 teaspoon salt and toss well. Continue cooking until the pasta is al dente, another minute or two, adding pasta water as needed to thin the sauce.
• Add the peas and lemon juice; toss well to combine. Add more pasta water as needed to reach the desired sauce consistency (you will most likely use about 1 1/2 cups pasta water in all).
