Preparation / Directions:


Bring water to a boil; add the kosher salt, and cook the pasta at a rapid boil until 'al dente", 8-10 minutes. Drain. Grate the rind of 1 lemon, then squeeze the juice out and reserve. Combine the cream and vodka in a 10-inch skillet and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens a little. Add the lemon juice and rind to the hot sauce and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add the drained hot pasta to the sauce and toss. Season with pepper, garnish with the parsley, and serve immediately on warmed plates. Serve the parmesan separately. VARIATION: Add cooked scallops, and/or cooked asparagus, cut in 1-inch pieces, into the sauce, just before tossing with pasta. Garnish with slices of the second Lemon
