Directions –
Put some water on to boil the spaghetti. Place the creme fraiche in a small bowl and whip in the olive oil. I use a fork to do this. Stir in some half and half or milk to thin it out. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in a squeeze or two of lemon juice and whip some more. Set aside. Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water according to the package directions.
