Parmesan Basil Spaghetti Recipes

PARMESAN BASIL SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti according to package directions. In a small custard cup, combine the oil and lemon juice. Microwave on high 20 seconds. Stir in the basil, salt and pepper. Drain spaghetti and place in a serving bowl. Add basil mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

PARMESAN, BASIL AND LEMON WAFERS (FRICO)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Transfer a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan mixture onto a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended for this recipe. Repeat with the remaining cheese mixture, spacing the spoonfuls about 1/2-inch apart. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool and use a flat spatula to transfer from lined baking sheet.

LEMON SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the oil, Parmesan, and lemon juice in a large bowl to blend.
• Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, and the reserved cooking liquid, adding 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with lemon zest and chopped basil.

BASIL PARMESAN PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• In a nonstick skillet, saute garlic in oil until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended (mixture will be thick). Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; gradually stir in Parmesan cheese and basil until cheese is melted. Serve over pasta.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC AND BASIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place spaghetti in the pot, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
• In a large bowl, toss the spaghetti with the olive oil, butter, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

SPAGHETTI WITH PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring about 3 quarts water to a boil and add linguine, stirring down so the pasta is completely immersed in the water. Add salt and cook until tender, stirring strands often, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
• Return pasta to the kettle it was cooked in, and add butter, olive oil, basil, pepper and 1/2 cup cheese, and toss to blend. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese on the side.

PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO, BASIL AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Cook pasta as directed on package, omitting salt.
• Meanwhile, combine all remaining ingredients except cheese.
• Drain pasta; place in large bowl. Add tomato mixture and cheese; mix lightly.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH TOMATOES, BASIL, AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• In a glass baking dish arrange the squash half, cut side down, pour 1/4 cup water around it, and cover the dish tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Microwave the squash at high power (100%) for 12 minutes, or until it is soft when pressed, and let it stand, covered, for 3 minutes. In a large bowl whisk together the oil, 1/4 cup of the basil, the oregano, and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, stir in the tomatoes, and season the mixture with salt and pepper. While the squash is still warm scrape it with a fork to form strands, add the strands to the tomato mixture, and toss the mixture until it is combined. Divide the mixture between 2 bowls, sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan over it, and garnish it with the additional basil.
