Great, Simple Duck Confit Creamy Pasta

Directions

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tbsp of salt and the linguinis. Cook the pasta until 2 minutes before al dente (2 minutes less than indicated on the package).
• While the water is coming to temperature, heat a large deep skillet under medium-low heat. When hot, add the butter and the lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Add the cream, the pecorino, and the lemon zest. Cook fora minimum of 2 minutes, or until the pasta are ready.
• When the linguinis are ready, fill a mug with pasta water. Add 1/2 cup of pasta water to the sauce. Drain the linguinis and add them to the sauce. Cook while constantly mixing for 2 minutes and add more pasta water if the sauce is getting too thick.
• While preparing the pasta, warm the duck confit in the micro wave or in a 350F oven for 10 minutes.
• The pasta are now ready! Serve the pasta topped with the confit, optionally, add pecorino, lemon zest, or freshly ground black pepper on top.
