Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ozs spaghetti
- ⅓ cup Asiago cheese, shredded (plus extra to pass at the table)
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (or more to taste)
- ⅓ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil a large pot of water to cook the spaghetti according to package instructions.
- When spaghetti is done, drain and toss immediately with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, garlic powder, and parsley.
- Stir in the Asiago cheese, followed by the lemon just and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Plate the spaghetti, and offer additional lemon and cheese at the table. Enjoy!
Notes
- Good quality Asiago cheese is key to making the dish a success. Get a block of good Asiago from your favorite local cheese shop or a good cheese department at a grocery store.
- The lemon flavor with the 1 tablespoon of lemon juice is moderate (the amount from about 1/4 of a lemon). You could go with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for more pronounced lemon flavor. Or offer lemon slices at the table so those inclined can add more lemon–that’s what we did and it worked well.
