📝 Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon thyme)
  • 2 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 lb fettucine pasta
  • 1 oz parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Melt butter in a large pot or dutch oven. Once melted, add in garlic, lemon zest, and thyme for 30 seconds.
  2. 2Pour in the lemon juice, chicken broth, heavy cream, and pasta. Bring to a boil with the lid off. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 13-15 minutes or until tender. Stir frequently to avoid the noodles sticking together.
  3. 3Stir in the parmesan cheese and kosher salt to taste. *NOTE: at this point it will be very liquidy. But as it cools it thickens significantly! You want to take it off the heat when the noodles are al dente.
