Lemon Pasta Salad

adapted from NoTakeOut

2 lemons
¼ cup canola oil
1 heaping Tablespoon dried basil
8 ounces fresh Parmesan
1 pound favorite pasta

Bring a salted pot of water to boil on the stove; add pasta and stir.  While pasta is cooking, zest the lemons into a large bowl.  Add the oil, basil and juice of one lemon.  Grate the Parmesan into the bowl.  When the pasta is al dente, drain, reserving a bit of pasta water if desired.  Add the pasta to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat.  Enjoy with French bread and some sliced bell peppers if desired.
