Creamy Lemon Pasta
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Split the shrimp to get two equal halves.
- 2Cook about half a pound of your favorite pasta (linguini is used here) in lightly salted water.
- 3While your pasta cooks, add about 1 to 1.5 cups of heavy cream and raw shrimp (or picked rotisserie chicken meat) to a pan that is currently off.
- 4Once your pasta is about two minutes from being done, turn the pan on medium-high heat and bring the cream to a simmer.
- 5After about 60 seconds, when the pasta has about a minute left to be fully cooked, lift it out of the water.
- 6Turn off the heat and add lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese, and 1 or 2 minced garlic cloves to the pasta.
- 7Let the pasta sit for 30 to 45 seconds to absorb the heavy cream and lemon juice.
- 8If your pasta seems a little dry, add a splash of pasta water.
- 9To plate, grab a tong full of pasta, set it in your bowl, then twist the tongs.
- 10Add more cheese if desired.

Tips
- When cooking pasta, keep stirring it until the water comes back up to a boil to prevent clumping.

- When plating long pastas, grab a tong full, set it in your bowl, then twist the tongs.
