Ingredients


1lb Angel hair pasta
4T Butter
4T Olive oil
2 Large lemon, freshly zested and juiced
2 Cloves of garlic, finely minced
2T Heavy Cream
¾C Pecorino romano, freshly grated
Sea salt to taste
Fresh cracked pepper


Directions

Fill a pot with water, salt and a drizzle with olive oil. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add angel hair pasta and stir occasionally to avoid pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Drain and reserve ½ cup of pasta water.

In a medium sauté pan add butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Once butter has melted add the lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic and cook for 2 minutes (do not let garlic brown). Add cream and season with salt and pepper.

Add the cooked pasta and cheese to the sauté pan and toss to coat. If sauce is dry add reserved pasta water until desired creaminess. Serve with additional fresh cracked pepper on top and sprinkle with Romano.
