Easy Fettucini Meal

I just cooked a super easy meal of Fettucini with Lemon Cream Sauce. I got the recipe from Nigella Bites on one of her Fast Food recipes (sorry couldn't find the exact link to her recipe). I have to say it was light and tasty just as she claimed. It was the perfect meal to cook after playing sports and was super hungry and didn't want to spend a lot of time cooking.

Here's the recipe:
Yum Factor: 9/10
Difficulty Factor: 10/10

Ingredients:
Fettucini (or Linguini)
50 Grams or so of Butter
1/2 Cup of Cream
2 Egg Yolks
Parmesan Cheese
Fresh Parsley
Zest from lemon and 1/2 lemon juice from a fresh lemon

1. Add a liberal amount of salt to boiling water (it should taste like a day at beach)
2. Add pasta
3. In the meantime, take 2 eggs and sort of play with it back and forth between your hands till all the whites are removed (don't break the yolk!)
4. Add cream and cheese and lemon + zest
4. Drain water from pasta and remove from heat
5. Add butter and stir until it dissolves
6. Add sauce (make sure that it is not on the heat or you will have scrambled eggs!)
7. Touch it off with some more parmesan and fresh parsley (don't add pepper or salt..there's enough salt from the cheese and pepper takes away from the soft flavour).
