erves 3

6 pasta nests (I used Colavita angel hair nests)

spinach and arugula salad greens

chopped Roma tomatoes

1 large lemon

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

a handful of fresh herbs (I used parsley, basil, oregano and thyme)

1 and 1/2 cups heavy cream

splash of white wine

freshly ground pepper

salt

extra Parmesan cheese for sprinkling

fresh mozzarella pearls

Cook pasta nests according to package directions. Drain well and place on beds of arugula/spinach salad greens and chopped Roma tomatoes. You will have to reform the nests a bit. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the juice and zest of large lemon, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. Blend until smooth, adding a little more olive oil if necessary. Place the herb mixture in a saucepan along with the cream and wine. Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wire whisk constantly until the mixture has thickened a little and reduced somewhat. Pour over the pasta nests. Top nests with little pearl mozzarella balls and a sprinkle fresh Parmesan, salt and pepper.
