Linguini with Meyer Lemon

1 pound linguini
3 Meyer lemons - zest and juice
4 oz. Creme fraiche
3/4 C grated hard cheese (Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, etc.)
1 bunch Arugula, cleaned and with the largest stems removed
2 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
10-12 leaves fresh basil chopped
Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook pasta to desired doneness. Strain and set aside reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Place the warm pot back on the stove, folding all ingredients along with the pasta into the pot.  Add a little bit of the reserved pasta water to your desired consistency.  Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and serve warm.  Top again with cheese if you like.
