Life is about exploring pasta-bilities! Check out a plate of Lemon Carbonara. A pile of delicious noodles sauced with a creamy lemon zing and shreds of sharp parmesan. Only thing missing is a fork and a mouth.
Ingredients
- 1 Box Spaghetti
- 5 Egg Yolks
- 1 Lemon
- 4 Oz Parmesan- Shredded

- 1 t Black Gold Garlic Pepper
Directions

- Add pasta and cook to al dente.
- Remove 1 ¼ Cup of pasta water and set aside before straining out the noodles.
- While the pasta is cooking, in a large bowl combine the shredded parmesan cheese, black gold and egg yolks. Stir together until a thick paste is made.
- Using a micro-plane, zest and juice the lemon and add it to the cheese mixture.

- Add reserved pasta water ¼ cup at a time, stirring in between, until a nice creamy sauce is made.

Really great but two observations. It would be good to know how many ounces of dry pasta one should actually use. A box is way too vague. Also I add a scant teaspoon of sugar, really brightens it up.
