• Level:
  Easy
• Servings:
  Four

Ingredients

• 1 pound / 457 g spaghetti
• 2 lemons (zest of 1 lemon, juice of 2 lemons)
• 5 tablespoons / 74 ml extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt
• 1 cup / 235 ml finely grated Parmigiano cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
• Bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and chopped

Steps

• 1). Place the spaghetti in a pot of boiling salted water and stir immediately to prevent the strands from sticking. Cook the spaghetti to 'al dente'.
• 2). Cut the garlic in half and rub the exposed area along the interior of a large serving bowl. The raw garlic flavor will coat the inside surface of the serving bowl. Discard the garlic.
• 3). Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and slowly drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil while whisking. Whisk until the ingredients have emulsified.
• 4). Mix in the salt and Parmigiano cheese.
• 5). When the spaghetti is 'al dente', drain and add to the serving bowl. Mix the pasta with the lemon sauce to coat evenly.
• 6). Sprinkle the pasta dish with Parmigiano cheese, fresh parsley and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
