Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 250 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 50 grams caviar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente, according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the heavy cream and stir, allowing it to heat through but not boil.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Add the lemon zest, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy sauce.
Divide the pasta among serving plates. Top each portion with a dollop of caviar, ensuring even distribution.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the full flavor of this luxurious dish.
