LeMoN GaRLiC sPaGhEtti

I found this recipe SOMEWHERE on the Internet. It's killing me that I can't remember. Especially because I loved it so much that I made it twice this week. The second time I whipped up a double batch so I could just warm it for lunch again the next day. Mysteriously it disappeared. Apparently I'm not the only one loving this Lemon Garlic Spaghetti.
This is my first experience with pine nuts. Can you believe it took me so long? Boy was I surprised to see how expensive they were but SO worth it!
4 oz. dry spaghetti,
1 clove garlic,
5-6 basil leaves-chiffoned,
1/4 c. grated Parmesan,
1/2 lemon,
2 tsp. olive oil,
2 tbsp. pine nuts,
Boil spaghetti and set aside to drain. Use the same pot to warm olive oil and garlic until the garlic is brown on edges. Toss in chiffoned basil leaves. (Don't bother making this recipe if you don't have fresh.) Squeeze in lemon juice. Add Parmesan cheese. Toss in drained spaghetti noodles. Mix thoroughly. Once you serve yourself some, add some cracked pepper a little more Parmesan cheese. ;)

I hope you enjoy it as much as the mysterious Lemon Garlic Spaghetti thief and I have been enjoying it!

***If I figure out where I found this recipe I'll be sure to update this post.***
