– 4 tbsp Butter
– 1 Garlic Clove

(For a vegan alternative, skip the heavy cream and butter! It’s a classic and absolutely delicious.)

Recipe:

1. Mince one garlic clove and sizzle it in a pan with extra virgin olive oil.

2. As the garlic is sizzling, boil the pasta (don’t forget to save about 1 cup of pasta water!)

3. Add 4 tbsp of butter.

4. Add the zest of a small lemon. (save some zest for the perfect garnish)

5. Mix in the juice of a small lemon and let it cook for a few seconds.

6. Then mix in the heavy cream and add a pinch of salt.

7. Drain the pasta and mix it into the sauce until your pasta really absorbs all that delicious flavor.

Sprinkle some finely chopped parsley and lemon zest for garnish to make your dish as gorgeous as you are!

  1. It's good. I just made it and added Spinach. I used 4 cloves of garlic and it still wasn't garlicky enough for me. I think next time I'll make my usual Alfredo style sauce and just add lemon. But I can also totally see how this would be better on Spaghetti. I used fettuccine cuz it's what I had
