Instructions
0 Bring a large pot (5-6 quarts) of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. 2 In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, cream, ½ cup Parmesan and ½ teaspoon salt. Grate the zest from the lemon with a rasp grater (a Microplane is my top pick) over the bowl, then slice the lemon in half and squeeze in the juice from one half. Whisk to combine. 4 Cook the pasta until al dente, usually 8-10 minutes. Be sure to taste and test! 6 Drain the pasta and immediately add to the bowl with the lemon cream. Top with the butter, then use 2 forks or a pair of tongs to gently toss the pasta until it's coated with the sauce. Cover the bowl and let it sit 5 minutes to thicken. 8 Serve hot, sprinkled with parsley, additional grated Parmesan and lemon zest, if you like.View original recipe
