Istruzioni

Start by adding your pasta to salted boiling water. Timer set to the packet cook time minus 2 minutes.

To a separate pan, add the oil and garlic. Season with salt and gently fry for a couple of minutes. After two minutes, add a ladle of pasta water to prevent the garlic from burning.

At this stage add the zest of one lemon and the cream. Stir to combine.

When your timer goes off, use your cooking tongs to transfer the pasta into this pan.

Slowly pour in the parmesan whilst vigorously moving the pasta around with the tongs. The pasta water & parmesan will form an emulsion to make the sauce.

Add the juice of a whole lemon and mix to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and lots of pepper. If the pasta looks dry, add another ladle of pasta water and stir until you get your desired consistency.

The pasta should be al dente at this point so you’re all good to go! Serve up with an extra squeeze of lemon if you like it tangy & a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
