Lemon Garlic Spaghetti

Preparación

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dry spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.

2. 2

   While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

3. 3

   Zest the lemon and squeeze out the juice. Add both the zest and juice to the skillet with the garlic. Stir to combine and cook for another 1 minute.

4. 4

   Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti.

5. 5

   Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the lemon-garlic mixture. Toss well to coat the pasta, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

6. 6

   Stir in the chopped parsley and half of the grated parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Serve immediately, topped with the remaining parmesan cheese and extra parsley if desired.
