Lemon is the secret ingredient that makes this dish irresistible!

 

 

 

 

First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil & add 1 pound of spaghetti, angel hair, or thin linguine…

 

 

 

 

Then, assemble the other ingredients:

1/8 cup oil

juice of 1 lemon

3 large tomatoes, chopped

3 cloves of garlic,  diced

salt & freshly ground black pepper

grated Gruyere cheese (optional)

 

While the pasta is boiling, you can squeeze the lemon juice, wash & chop the tomatoes, & dice the garlic…

 

 

Next, heat up a tablespoon of oil in a sauce pan or skillet on medium heat, & when both the pan & the oil are hot, add the tomatoes & garlic. 

 

Allow to cook for several minutes, until softened & fragrant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 When the pasta is done cooking, drain & then rinse it briefly with tap water, stirring it around a little.  This will remove the stickiness.

 Then, add the lemon juice, oil, and salt to the pasta, & stir well to coat all of the pasta.

Add the tomato mixture & stir gently, & then grate plenty of black  pepper on top. 

Optional:  grated Gruyere cheese can be sprinkled generously on top for extra saltiness & flavor!

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy!
