To anyone with any knowledge of the kitchen: I need your help!
Spaghetti al Limone (ie. Lemon Spaghetti)
I first saw the recipe on David Rocco's "Dolce Vita" and, immediately, my interest was piqued. When I got around to checking the Food Network's website, the recipe was nowhere to be found.
If any of you, or any of your cookbooks, have a recipe for this, I would love to hear from you.
Many thanks.

It's Oprah, so not sure if this is what you want, but it was the only English page I saw, so I hope it helps:
INGREDIENTS
1 pound spaghetti
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (3 to 4 lemons)
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
2 tsp. grated lemon zest
2 cups firmly packed basil leaves, slivered
In a large pot, cook spaghetti in salted, boiling water until al dente. Place a colander over a large serving bowl, then drain spaghetti into it (hot water will warm bowl). Pour water from bowl, wipe bowl dry, then empty spaghetti into it.
Meanwhile, combine cheese and lemon juice in a small mixing bowl. Gradually beat in olive oil until mixture becomes thick and creamy and cheese "melts" into oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon zest.
Pour sauce over cooked spaghetti in serving bowl; toss thoroughly. Add basil, toss again and serve.
That is pretty close. Definitely needs more garlic (everything needs more garlic...) but that recipe will be good to work from.
Many thanks!
Remember how he did the garlic, with rubbing it around the bowl. Other than that, I think that recipe is pretty close.
all i did was google but eh, you're welcome. and yes, everything needs more garlic. especially my icky dorm food. ;-) tell me how it turns out...maybe we'll try it out some night at the OK House.
