Ingredients:
  • 250g dried macaroni pasta

  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 70g (1/2 cup) coarsely grated parmesan
  • 125.00 ml coarsely chopped fresh continental parsley
  • 40g butter

Instructions:
  • Cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until just tender. Drain thoroughly.
  • Place the bread, lemon rind, oil, garlic, half of the parmesan, and half of the parsley in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped.

Slowly whisk in milk and cream. Return to medium heat and stir constantly for 2 minutes until sauce boils and thickens. Remove from heat.
