Cook the Pasta:

Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.

Build the Sauce:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and lemon zest; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in lemon juice, feta, and Parmesan cheese. Let cook for 2–3 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.

Combine:

Add cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time if needed to loosen the sauce.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in fresh herbs if using.

Serve:

Top with extra crumbled feta, a sprinkle of herbs, and a crack of black pepper. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
