Prep time:

10 minutes

Cook time:

10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 medium Lemon, zest and juice
  • 8 ounces Pasta of your choice (farfalle, penne, angel hair, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup Parmigiano, grated
  • 5 Fresh basil leaves, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, melt butter and add chopped garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is softened but not browned.
  2. Pour in chicken broth, add lemon zest, lemon juice, and pasta. Stir to combine everything. Cover the pot, increase heat to high, and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 9 to 10 minutes or until the pasta is cooked to your desired doneness. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  3. Stir in grated Parmigiano and sliced basil, then remove the pot from heat. Serve immediately with extra cheese and basil if desired.
