Lemon Pasta

Start by boiling the spaghetti in a pot of water.

In a separate heatproof bowl, combine butter, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Place the bowl over the pot of boiling pasta and whisk the mixture to create an emulsified sauce.

Add a ladle of the starchy pasta water to the sauce and continue to whisk until smooth.

Once the pasta is cooked, transfer it directly into the bowl with the lemon sauce. Add more butter and fresh basil.

Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy lemon sauce.

Serve the pasta in a bowl, pouring any remaining sauce over the top.

Garnish with grated parmesan cheese, more lemon zest, freshly ground black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley.
