Pin Recipe Instructions
- Mix the parmesan, olive oil, egg yolks, salt, pepper, juice and the zest of lemon in a bowl. Process the basil with a little salt in a mortar to a pulp and add to the parmesan egg mixture.
- Cook the pasta in salted water as usual and add some pasta water to the sauce at the end, then it will be nice and creamy.
- Tip: Briefly hold the bowl with the sauce mixture over the boiling pasta water. The warmth brings out the aromas and the sauce gets a bit warm.
