Blooming Pasta with Flower Garnish

INGREDIENTS: GARNISH: Edible Flowers- I used Violas… and Cornflower

1 pkg pasta ( I used Lavender Pasta from our Friends at Local Epicurean - here in Grand Rapids MI)

Lemon Zest

6 Tbsp butter lemon juice

1/2 cup cream or half and half

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cook pasta to package instructions, set aside, keep warm.

To make sauce, melt butter, add cream, add lemon zest and lemon juice

(from one lemon), grated Parmesan cheese. Allow sauce to thicken over heat.

Combine with cooked pasta - briefly over heat.

Grate additional Parmesan cheese over top. Garnish with edible flowers. Enjoy!

J’s NOTES:

If you’ve never made your own sauce before, give this a try – you’ll love it. It also

works well to add cooked shrimp or scallops for a more complete meal. The Lavender

pasta shown is from The Local Epicurean - a specialty grocer that makes

pasta on site - with herb and floral ingredients. They also offer cooking classes.
