Meyer Lemon Pasta Sauce

Here is another recipe snatched from my new favorite food blog, Rachel Eats.

The Intern and I made this pasta a few weeks ago to go with our homemade pasta. We didn't really measure anything, and we've made it several times since, again without really doing any real measuring. You're going to have to experiment here, and trust my non-measurements.

You'll need a few small lemons from our meyer lemon tree, or maybe your meyer lemon tree, or maybe your local Town & Country market, or wherever you happen to find meyer lemons these days.

This pasta is quick and ridiculously delicious, so be advised, you will get hooked, and we're not even sorry.

Ingredients: (approximately for two people-ish)

-pasta
-1/3 cup good olive oil (or whatever)
-1 cup of grated pecorino romano or parmesean, although seriously, just use pecorino romano.
-zest and juice from 2 small backyard lemon trees... or maybe near or less than 1/4 cup of juice
-salt and pepper

Directions:
-As the pasta water boils, prepare all the ingredients
-Warm a bowl with hot water and dry, then quickly whisk together the juice, oil, and about 1/2 of the cheese.
-Be prepared, things are about to get delicious.
-salt and pepper to taste, then as the water boils and pasta is ready, drain pasta and toss with the lemon & oil.
-top pasta with remaining cheese, and serve.
