Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
5 basil leaves, tied with kitchen twine
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream
zest of 2 lemons
1 Parmesan rind
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
juice of 1/2 lemon
cooked spaghetti noodles
basil for topping

Directions

1

Place the butter, olive oil, garlic and basil in a medium-size skillet and heat over medium-low for 10 minutes.
2

Remove the basil, increase the heat to medium, add the wine and reduce for 2 minutes.
3

Remove the skillet from the stove top for a few minutes and lower the heat to low. Add the cream, salt, rind and lemon zest.
4

Place the skillet back onto the burner. Simmer gently on low for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the rind from sticking to the pan.
5

Remove the sauce from the stovetop, add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
6

Add cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss to coat. Top with torn basil leaves and serve warm.
