Ingredients
- 8 ounces dry spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Meyer lemon zest (from about 1 to 2 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water until it's al dente. (Al dente means "to the tooth." The pasta should be tender, but with a bite to it.)
- As soon as you put the pasta in the water, add the butter, oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and thyme to a large sauce, or sauté pan. Over low-medium heat, let the butter melt. Then mix and let it gently simmer until the pasta is done.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the sauce.
- Season generously to taste with salt and pepper. (Here's How to Season to Taste.)
- Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
