LEMON PEPPER PASTA

Steps:

• ​Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 2 tablespoons of salt and the linguine. Stir the pasta frequently for the first few minutes of cooking time. Cook the pasta to package directions for al dente.
• While the pasta cooks: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and the butter. Heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
• Lower the heat to medium-low and add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Lower the heat to low and add the lemon juice, lemon zest, ¼ teaspoon of salt and the fresh ground pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine the ingredients well and cook gently for another minute or two.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside until the pasta is done and drained.
• Before draining the pasta, reserve about ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water.
• Drain the pasta completely, and return it to the pot. Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, reserved cooking water and the parsley.
• Serve the lemon pepper pasta with extra black pepper and Parmesan cheese.

LEMON-PEPPER FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook as the label directs. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup cooking water.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Whisk the cream, egg yolk and lemon zest in a bowl. Reduce the heat to low and add the cream mixture and cheese to the skillet. Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and 2 to 3 teaspoons pepper.
• Add the pasta to the skillet and toss, adding enough of the reserved cooking water to loosen the sauce. Divide among bowls and garnish with more pecorino. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.
