How to Make Basil Parmesan Angel Hair
- Cook 8 ounces of angel hair pasta according to package directions.
- Once cooked, drain the pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
- Return the pasta to the pot. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat.
- Add 1/2 cup of milk (whole milk recommended), 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Stir in an additional 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil.
- Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges.
