Citrus Butter Pasta Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 10 ounces uncooked pasta
Instructions
1
Combine the broth, cream, and butter in a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Allow it to come to a gentle boil, then gradually decrease the heat and continue cooking until approximately half of the liquid has evaporated. Introduce the lemon juice, lemon zest, and lime zest into the saucepan, stirring until they are fully incorporated. Set the prepared sauce aside momentarily.
2
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until it reaches an al dente texture, meaning it should still retain a slight firmness in the center when pierced with a fork. This typically takes 8 to 10 minutes, after which the pasta is drained and ready for use.
3
Add the cooked pasta to the prepared sauce and gently toss until it is evenly coated with the sauce.
