Lemon Pasta

This recipe was inspired (and altered) by a demo on the Today Show (print recipe)

• 1 lb pasta of your choice (we love Banza to add protein to our meal)
• 3 lemons, zest of 3, juice of 2
• 4 Tbsp Earth Balance butter or butter flavored olive oil
• 1/2 cup Brazil nut parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Generously salt a pot of water to cook pasta.  Ensure pasta is cooked al dente and reserve 1/2-3/4 cup of the pasta water for the sauce.

In a separate pan melt the butter, add the juice and zest from lemons, parmesan cheese, and finally pasta water once pasta is done (use 1/2 cup and add more if needed after combined with pasta).

Combine sauce and pasta.  Top with additional parmesan.  Dinner done in 10 minutes or less!
