Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

500 g (1lb) pasta of your choice
1 tbsp butter
3-4 garlic cloves (crushed )
1 cup cream ((heavy / whipping cream) )
2 tbsp sour cream
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese ((use a vegetarian alternative if preferred) )
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
salt and pepper (to taste )

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente.
  • While the water comes to a boil and the pasta cooks, make the sauce.
  • Melt the butter in a pan set over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and allow to cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in the cream, sour cream, lemon juice and zest.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  • Reduce the heat then add the Parmesan and parsley. Stir in then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of cooking water. Add the pasta to the sauce, along with a few spoonfuls of pasta water and toss until the pasta is coated in the sauce and the sauce is creamy. You might need to add more water as the pasta absorbs the sauce and the sauce thickens.
  • Serve scattered with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan.
