Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Lemon Pasta Sauce.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large saucepan or skillet and pour in the beef broth, heavy whipping cream, and a generous dollop of butter.
Step 2
Place it over medium heat and let the magic happen as the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally, allowing it to reduce by about half, which will intensify those delicious flavors.
Step 4
Once itβs beautifully thickened, stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and lime zest for a bright, zesty kick.
Step 5
Remove the sauce from the heat and set it aside, letting those citrus aromas fill your kitchen.
Step 6
While your sauce is resting, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 7
Toss in the uncooked pasta and cook it according to the package instructions, usually around 8 to 10 minutes, until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 8
Once done, drain the pasta, letting the steam escape as you anticipate the delightful combination ahead.
Step 9
Now, itβs time for the grand finale! Add the cooked pasta to your luscious lemon sauce and give it a good toss, ensuring every strand is coated in that creamy, zesty goodness.
