1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
1/2 cup grated mozzarella

Method

Step 1 Cook pasta in a saucepan of boiling, salted water, following packet directions, until tender. Drain. Return to pan.
Step 2 Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes or until foaming. Add flour. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 1 minute or until mixture bubbles. Remove pan from heat. Slowly add milk, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly to prevent lumps forming. Return pan to medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until sauce boils and thickens. Stir in half the parmesan.
