Ingredients
2
lemons
2 slices
white sandwich bread
6 tablespoons
unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large
eggs plus 2 large yolks
2 tablespoons
heavy cream
2 cups
finely grated Parmesan (4 ounces), plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and pepper
12 ounces
spaghetti
Chopped
pistachios and chives (optional), for serving
Instructions
1
Make breadcrumbs; heat butter and toast breadcrumbs with some zest: In a food processor, pulse bread into very coarse breadcrumbs (you should have 1 cup). Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon grated zest. Cook, stirring, until crumbs are golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan; let cool completely.
2
Combine eggs, yolks, cream, cheese, and zest: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, yolks, cream, cheese, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons grated zest.
3
Cook pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
4
Add pasta to cheese mixture; add remaining butter and lemon juice: Add pasta to bowl with cheese mixture. Season with a generous amount of pepper and some salt. Use tongs to toss until pasta is fully coated. Add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and lemon juice; toss until a creamy sauce forms. (If necessary, thin with a little pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time.),
5
Serve: Serve pasta sprinkled with breadcrumbs, pistachios, more cheese, chives, and julienned lemon zest.
