Pasta with Lemon Cream SauceI stumbled upon this recipe in a cookbook that I inherited from Richmond and Annette, with the page corner turned down. Naturally I had to investigate. It's summery, delicious, and very easy!

Instructions

  1. Boil the water for the pasta.
  2. Cook the pasta.
  3. Put the cream in a skillet to warm it up.
  4. Using a microplane, grate the zest from the lemon into the cream and let it warm for 5 minutes.
  5. CUt the lemon in half and squeeze half of it into the lemon-cream mixture. Use a strainer to catch the lemon seeds.
  6. Add the vodka and push up the heat to get it almost to the boil.
  7. Drain the pasta and toss it with the sauce, then put a grating of fresh nutmeg on top. Serve hot.
