1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium-size clove garlic -- minced

1 8-ounce package medium-size bowties

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

1/2 bunch basil (about 12 large leaves)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper

Stack 5 to 6 basil leaves at a time, roll them up tight and slice across the

more leaves until quantity reaches firmly packed 1/2 cup. Heat oil in a large

saute, stirring often, 1 minute. Remove from heat.

 

Add well-drained bowties and toss well until coated with garlic-oil mixture. Add

lemon juice and zest, basil, salt, and pepper, and

toss until basil wilts.

 

Divide pasta among 4 large heated plates, top each portion with 1 tablespoon

grated cheese and serve.
