Ingredients
  

  • 1 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • cups hot vegetable broth
  • 1 organic lemon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup cooked spaghetti al dente
  • 1 handful basil
  • 1 handful parsley
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • pepper
  • Parmesan
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic cloves. In a pot, sauté them together in olive oil until translucent.
  • Heat the vegetable broth with hot water. Let it briefly steep.
  • Meanwhile, wash the lemon with hot water and finely grate the zest. Then halve the lemon and squeeze out the juice.
  • Pour the hot vegetable broth into the pot and add a pinch of salt.
  • Add the noodles to the pot: The pasta should be completely covered by the liquid. If necessary, add a little more broth or water.
  • Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and let the pasta simmer for about 5 minutes over low heat. Stir occasionally so that nothing sticks.
  • Wash the basil and parsley, chop them finely. Then add them to the pasta along with the heavy cream.
  • Stir everything well until the sauce is nice and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top your creamy one pot lemon pasta with some Parmesan, a few fresh basil leaves, and some parsley for garnish. Dinner is ready!
