Amount Ingredient
12 oz Spaghettini
4 tbl Sour cream OR creme fraiche OR regular cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 x Lemon, for the zest

4 oz Freshly grated Parmesan OR other grating cheese
2 x Garlic cloves, chopped
20 x Brined black olives, or more to taste, pitted and cut into slivers
Instructions:
Instructions: LEMON ZEST: cut into long strips with a zester.

Cook the pasta in rapidly boiling salted water until al dente, then drain.

Toss with the sour cream, then with salt, pepper and lemon zest.

Working quickly, toss with the olive oil, lemon juice, cheese, garlic and olives. Transfer to a serving dish and scatter with the basil.

Serve at once, with extra lemon and Parmesan for those who desire it.

Notes: "This is wonderfully smooth and creamy even though it contains just a tiny bit of cream. It can be as puckery tart as you like, depending on how much lemon you use, with bites of black olive and sweet basil to punctuate the Mediterranean flavor. "
