Hello and welcome to the season finale of Nikoli's Kitchen! It has been such an amazing season thusfar, and the first half of today's episode is dedicated to reflecting on what I've learned and the ways I've grown since beginning the show last November. Then, in the second half, stay tuned for the full breakdown of lemon parmesan cream sauce!! I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for listening to this show- whenever you started listening, or however many episodes you've listened to. You are so amazing. Thank you all so much for listening, and thank you so much for coming on this journey with me.
For the past four years I've been honored to host the Livestream for the Cure, a charity that raises money for the Cancer Research Institute and for cancer immunotherapy, which is training the body's immune system to fight cancer. Since then I, with my co-hosts on Epic Film Guys, have raised over $30,000 thanks to amazing podcast partners and content creators who give their time and money to be part of the event. This year's event is our fifth, and we're looking to add $15,000 to that total, our biggest single year goal to date.

Featured Recipe for this Episode
1 c chicken stock
1/2 c white wine
Zest & Juice of 2 lemons
3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
1 t fresh sage, finely chopped
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
4 T unsalted butter (cut into 4 slices)
1/2 c heavy cream
1/2 c parmesan cheese, freshly shredded
Cracked Black Pepper
Salt
8 oz angel hair pasta (roughly half of a box)
Using medium skillet, turn the heat to mid-high.
When the pan heats up, add 1 T of butter and let it melt, then add the onion. Cook it for just a minute and then add your garlic and sage. Cook this for about 30 seconds to really release the oils and start to perfume everything. Stir constantly so it doesn't burn.
Add juice of one of your lemons, chicken stock, and white wine to the skillet and cook for approx 10-15 minutes. Stir periodically. You want to reduce this down to 1/2 cup of liquid.
While your sauce is cooking, bring salted water to a boil and cook your pasta until it is nearly done to your liking, and strain. You'll finish this for just a minute in the sauce.
Once your sauce is reduced to 1/2 c liquid, remove from the heat and add the juice of the other lemon and stir to combine.
Add the remaining 3 T butter and stir until the butter is melted and incorporated.
Add the heavy cream and stir until incorporated.
Add salt & cracked black pepper to taste.
Reduce heat to medium and return the skillet to the heat. Add your parmesan cheese and pasta here and stir until the cheese is melted and everything is combined and well-coated. Keep it on the heat for only about one minute, stirring constantly. You don't need the sauce to simmer or cook, it just needs to come together.
Serve immediately! Serves four.
