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.
