Method
Melt the butter in a small heavy saucepan. Add the grated lemon rind, the chopped herbs, cream, salt and pepper. Bring slowly to the boil and simmer, stirring constantly, for a couple of minutes.
Add the lemon juice to the pan and bring back to the boil, then take the pan off the heat and keep warm. Cook the Tagliatelle in plenty of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain but do not over-drain, and then transfer to a warmed bowl.
Dress immediately the pasta with the sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan. Toss very well and serve at once with the remaining cheese separately.
