Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound spaghetti (usually half a box)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 large lemon (zested and juiced (approx. 1 tablespoon zest and 2 teaspoons juice))
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Small handful of parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the spaghetti. Add salt to the water if desired.
  • Heat a large deep skillet over low heat and add the olive oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for about five minutes, then add 3/4 cup of the water the pasta has been boiling in, along with the lemon juice and the heavy cream, to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil, stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken a bit. Add the lemon zest and half of the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Remove the skillet from the heat and, using tongs, toss the pasta with the sauce for a minute or two until the pasta begins to soak the sauce.
  • Top with the remaining cheese and parsley. Serve.

This recipe was a disappointment. The sauce was too thin and the shrimp were rubbery.

I'm not usually a fan of lemon pasta, but this recipe changed my mind. The sauce was perfectly balanced and the shrimp were cooked to perfection.

I thought the lemon spaghetti was just okay. The sauce was a bit bland and the shrimp were a little overcooked.

The lemon spaghetti was a bit too lemony for my taste, but otherwise it was a good dish. The sauce was creamy and the shrimp were cooked perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The lemon flavor was subtle but noticeable, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a hit.

This lemon spaghetti was a delightful dish! The bright lemon flavor was perfectly balanced by the creamy sauce and tender shrimp. I added a bit of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, and it was perfect. My family loved it, and I will definitely be
