3 tbsp butter
1 tsp olive oil

Thyme
1/2 cup pasta water (as needed)
Salt & Pepper to taste
- While the water boils, melt butter in a saute pan with the olive oil and lemon zest over low heat, stirring to combine.
- Strain in lemon juice to prevent seeds and pulp entering the sauce, stirring to emulsify into a light sauce. Season to taste with salt & pepper. If it is too acidic, add a splash of heavy cream.
- Cook fresh tagliatelle for 2-3 min, then immediately drain and add to lemon sauce, making sure to reserve a ladle-full of pasta water.
- Stir well to combine and coat the pasta in the sauce, adding a bit of the pasta water if the sauce is too thin (it will thicken as it cools). Season to taste.
- Plate in a bowl and serve with thyme leaves and Parmesan grated to your heart's content.
