Simple pasta goes well with anything

I love eating pasta as a main dish.  We did that so much when we were young and didn't have money in Manhattan.  We must have had pasta 3 - 4 times a week.  I can come up with different kind of pasta every time at least for a few weeks even I was cooking pasta that often.  But after doing it for 5 years or so, we got kind of burned out on that.  

Now that my husband is trying to avoid to eat too much carbohydrate, pasta has become a side dish.   But since it is difficult for me to eat rich pasta with main dish, this is the recipe I do often.  It goes well with lots of things because it's so simple.  

*Ingredients for 3-4 servings as side dish*

1/2 lb. of Pasta ( Angel hair, Thin spaghetti, Linguini anything you like)

1 Lemon, squeezed

1 cup of freshly grated parmesan Cheese

2 table spoon of extra virgin olive oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

< 1 > Cook the pasta to al dente.

< 2 > Mix with the rest of the ingredients.

< 3 > Sprinkle parsley or basil if you like.

**Variation**

Use unsalted butter if you want to make it a little richer

Press 1 clove of garlic and add to the mix for garlic lovers

Use anchovy syrup insteadof salt 

Lay the pasta on a bed of Arugula and put a few slices of Prosciutto on top to have as a lunch dish

Oh no.  Now I'm thinking about Prosciutto....  How I miss Bronx!!
