This recipe sounded light and different -- not something I would have thought of doing with spaghetti, but something simple enough for a young kid to like. Sam, the lemon lover, was unconvinced that there was even any lemon in it, because the zest was so well hidden. Next time, I'll have to cut great strips of it over the top. The next day, I had some of the spaghetti -- which, to this adult palate, was delicious -- for lunch with arugula, cherry tomatoes and some chopped garlic scapes tossed in. It was a lovely late-spring lunch. PUCKER UP P'SGHETTI Zest of 1/2 of a lemon 1/8 cup fresh lemon juice, about 1 lemon 1/3 cup olive oil 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and extra for garnish 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 pound cooked spaghetti, warm Zest lemon into a large bowl, then whisk in lemon juice, olive oil, cheese and salt. Add spaghetti and toss to coat. Serve warm.
