Method

Step 1

In a large pot, bring water to a boil, add pasta and cook to al-dente (slightly undercooked), then strain pasta and put back in pot and set aside to keep warm. I normally add a teaspoon of oil (canola or vegetable) and toss it around to keep it from sticking to the dry pot.

 

Step 2

In a large, shallow pan on medium to high heat, melt 4 tbsp of butter.

 

Step 3

Squeeze in juice from one lemon.
 

Step 4

Add 1/4 cup of white wine, then let alcohol boil off for 1-2 minutes.

 

Step 5

Add 2 tsp garlic powder.
 

Step 6

Add in heavy cream, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing in between.
 

Step 7

Remove warm pasta and place in shallow pan with sauce and mix well, then in squeeze juice from 1/2 lemon and sprinkle in salt while mixing.

 

Step 8

Remove tossed pasta and place on platter. Finish with freshly grated parmesan and cracked pepper.

To add some protein to the dish, I recommend either sautéing some large tiger shrimp in a pan with garlic butter to add on top of the pasta OR grilling off some Ontario sausage then slicing and mixing in with the dish.
 

Shrimp: Melt butter in shallow pan on high heat, then add shrimp. Sauté for 4-6 minutes until poached shrimp are browned or uncooked shrimp are cooked through. Remove from pan and garnish around the edge of pasta dish.
 

Sausage: Poke each sausage 3 times each with a fork, then grill on barbecue or in grill pan on the stove until cooked through. Slice and add to pasta dish.
