Ingredients
3 cup olive oil
3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper,
1 pound dried spaghetti
3 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk the oil, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, 3 ?4 teaspoon of salt, and 1?2 teaspoon of pepper to blend. Set the lemon sauce aside. (The sauce can be made up to 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.) Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the spaghetti to the lemon sauce, and toss with the basil and lemon zest. Toss the pasta with enough reserved cooking liquid, 1?4 cup at a time, to moisten. Season the pasta with more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to bowls and serve.
