Lemon Pepper Pasta with Capers

Ingredients:

3 large cloves of garlic, minced
Zest of 1 lemon
1 TBSP butter
1 TBSP olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup cream
1/4 cup capers
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 8-oz package of Trader Joe's Lemon Pepper Pappardelle Pasta


Directions:

Slowly cook the garlic and lemon zest in the butter and oil, in a heavy saute pan over medium heat.  Stir frequently to keep the garlic from browning.  When the garlic is soft, add the broth and turn the heat to high.  Simmer until reduced by at least one half.  Add the cream and capers.  Turn the heat back to medium and simmer until thick and syrupy.  Taste and season.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions (8-10 minutes).  Drain and toss with a dribble of olive oil.  Pour the cream sauce over and toss.  Serve immediately.
