New favorite dish to make: Linguine With Lemon Cream Sauce. So easy. So so so delish:
Ingredients
[Serves 4]
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound linguine
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound linguine
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
Directions
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot. Meanwhile, in a small pot, heat oil over medium. Add shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, 4 minutes. Add cream and lemon zest. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, 8 minutes. Add lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour cream sauce over pasta and toss, adding enough pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta.

mmmmm. I make a similar dish, with light creme fraiche instead of cream. That and loads of lemon zest make it a really nice light Spring dish!
