While my husband could eat spaghetti and meat sauce several times a week, during the summer I like something a little lighter. This proves to be a little difficult sometimes because my husband isn’t a fan of scampi or anything with an overpowering lemon flavor. I took a chance by making this dish, but after looking at the ingredients I thought it might just work.
This not only worked, it was amazing. I enjoy pasta, but I’m never one to clear my plate. I went back for seconds and my husband gobbled his down quickly as well. It is always a good sign when you have finished most of your meal before you say, “This is good.” The best part is it is so quick to make. I prep everything first and then just add in the ingredients when needed. You’ll have dinner on the table in the time it takes to boil pasta!
While the meal isn’t overpowering with lemon anyways, which you could change if you really like lemon, the flavors will become muted once it has a chance to rest in the pasta.
Browned Butter Lemon Spaghetti
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 Tbsp seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 8 oz spaghetti, uncooked
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 oz fresh, finely grated Romano cheese
- 8 basil leaves, chopped
Cook pasta according to directions.
Brown butter in a small sauce pan and set aside. Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add garlic and lemon zest and saute until lightly golden. Add breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Pour the breadcrumb mixture into the browned butter and add the lemon juice. Whisk the mixture until well combined.
Once pasta has cooked, drain and return to the pot. Pour the browned butter mixture over the pasta and toss. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add Romano cheese and basil and toss to evenly coat.
