This one just cried out to me!!!
(serves 4)
Kosher salt
1 lb. dried fettuccine or other long noodles, such a spaghetti or buccatini*
3 oz. freshly grated* Parmesan (about 1 cup), plus some shaved Parm. for topping
Finely grated lemon zest and juice of 1 lemon (about 2 T. juice) - save some zest for topping
1/2 cup torn fresh mint, basil, or parsley leaves (I would use all three*), plus whole leaves for
garnish*
1 T. unsalted Kerrygold butter
1 T. EVOO
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt the water and boil the pasta for 2 min. shy of the package instructions. Test for doneness - the pasta should be al dente - and drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water Transfer the pasta to a large warm bowl, and mix in the reserved cooking water, cheese, lemon zest and juice, torn herbs, butter, oil, and red pepper (if using). Divide among 6 plates, top with extra cheese, and serve immediately topped with whole herb leaves, and a pinch of extra grated lemon zest.
