# Steps:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine dried basil, oregano, parsley, mustard powder, thyme, onion powder, and black pepper. Measure out all remaining ingredients to ensure quick assembly.
02 -
Melt 43 grams of the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and the prepared seasoning blend. Stir continuously until the butter begins to foam and aromas are released.
03 -
Pour in chicken broth, half and half, soy sauce, and add the bouillon cube. Stir gently to combine.
04 -
Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Add pasta and return to a gentle boil. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently with a silicone spatula to prevent sticking, until pasta is al dente according to package instructions.
05 -
Reduce heat to low and gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove pot from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice.
06 -
Add the remaining butter to the pot. Cover briefly to allow the butter to melt, then gently stir to incorporate. Serve immediately while hot.
# Notes & Tips:
01 -
Use freshly grated Parmesan from a wedge for optimal flavor and melting.
02 -
DeLallo Shellbow, Cavatappi, Medium Shells, Orecchiette, Farfalle, or Rotini are all suitable pasta shapes.
03 -
Freshly squeezed lemon juice imparts a brighter flavor than bottled.
04 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
05 -
For best reheating results, use a makeshift double boiler to gently warm the pasta without overcooking.
