Ingredienser

180 g pasta (I've used spaghetti)

1 lemon

50 g finely grated parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese) or more to taste

4 garlic cloves diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

Handful chopped fresh parsley

Extra parmigiano reggiano cheese, olive oil and red pepper flakes (optional)

Instruktioner

In a large pot, boil heavily salted water. Add the pasta and cook for a couple of minutes less than indicated on the package

Whilst the pasta is cooking, saute the garlic in olive oil in a large skillet. Cook on a low heat so that it infuses the oil and doesn't burn it

Using a microplane or cheese grater, grate the zest of the lemon. Once done, squeeze the juice of the same lemon and remove any seedsAdd the lemon zest and juice to the pan with a ladle of pasta water

When the pasta is ready, add straight to the pan with 1/2 cup of pasta water to allow it to finish cooking in the pan over medium heatAdd the grated parmigiano cheese and mix through continuously. If the pasta is too dry, add another ladle of pasta water and keep stirring for a couple of minutes to create a lovely creamy silky sauce

Stir in the chopped parsley and its ready to serve! Add a light drizzle of olive oil with more parmigiano cheese and enjoy your Lemon Garlic Pasta
