Ingredients
¾ pound angel hair pasta, cooked
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 lemons, juiced (about ⅓ cup)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large skillet over low heat, add the olive oil, chopped garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook for several minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
Stir in the lemon juice, vegetable broth, and heavy cream. Allow the sauce to heat thoroughly, cooking for about 10-15 minutes until well combined and slightly thickened.
Remove the skillet from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the shredded parmesan cheese and stir until it melts into the sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta in the lemon garlic sauce, mixing well to coat the pasta evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
