Does anybody have Nigella's recipe for lemon/cream pasta sauce? Or anything similar?

[Bettybloo]

This was a really simple sauce that she did in her first series, but is not in any of her books - I cant remember the exact ingredients or what she did. I just want something light and not too creamy (and definitley not cheesy) for green veg and pasta - any ideas? The more basic the better as I am a rubbish cook. Thanks!

It's called Lemon Linguine and is in her How to Eat book.
750g linguine, 2 egg yolks, 150ml double cream, 50g grated parmesan, zest and juice of 1 lemon, 15g butter, fresh flat leaf parsley

Fill big pot with water and bring to boil. When boiling dob in the pasta and return to the boil.
Put yolks, cream, parmesan, lemon zest and half the juice, pinch of salt and grating of pepper and beat with a fork. Taste and add more lemon juice as required.
When the pasta is ready, hive off a mug of the cooking liquid, drain pasta, return to pan and add butter. Stir to cover pasta in melted/melting butter. Then stir in lemon mixture and turn pasta well. If it looks a bit dry, add a bit of your reserved cooking water, 2 tbsps or so. Sprinkle over some just-chopped parsely and serve now, now, now.
Yum, yum.

Woohoo - THANKYOU!

How wierd - I've just put a pan of water on for the linguine to cook this tonight. Can't wait as I've not been able to have it for 9 months as I was pregnant, and the egg yolk really does make the difference.
