Alas, I have precious little to share, but a recipe, which is my very favorite that I make. It's fairly easy, not terribly time consuming, and completely delicious.
Lemon-cream pasta
1 box pasta, any shape you want. I like penne.
1 T butter
1 small onion, chopped small
3/4 cup chicken broth
LOTS of lemon juice
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 tsp cayenne
2 T fresh mint, chopped
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add pasta. Boil, drain.
Melt butter in large, deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat. I prefer making this in a skillet because it is faster, but you have less chance of mess in a saucepan. Your choice.
Saute the onions until soft but not completely caramelized. Add about a T of lemon juice and the chicken broth. Raise heat to medium-high and cook until the broth is reduced to between 1/8 and 1/4 cup. You want to leave a path with the spoon when you stir it, because this is the step that thickens your sauce.
Add another T or so of lemon juice and simmer for about a minute. Stir in the heavy cream and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, do not boil, for about 10 minutes until cream is heated through. Add cayenne, mint, and another tsp of lemon just before serving.
Pour the drained pasta into the sauce and stir until completely coated.
Enjoy!
