Ingredients: 1 pound fresh linguini or angel hair pasta; 1/4 cup unsalted butter; 1 cup heavy cream; grated zest of 2 lemons; 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed); 1 cup grated Asiago (fine); Kosher to taste; grated Asiago; red pepper flakes; julienned fresh basil

Golden ribbons of pasta swim in a silky, butter-kissed cream sauce brightened with fresh lemon zest and juice. The sharp bite of aged Asiago melts into every strand, creating pure comfort that feels like sunshine on a plate — my go-to when I need something both elegant and soul-soothing.
