Ingredients

Directions

  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions, until just al dente, and add in approx. 2 tbsp kosher salt into the pasta cooking water. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of hot pasta cooking water.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large pan on medium heat, then add olive oil. Once hot, add half the lemon juice and about 1/3 of the zest, and stir. Let simmer for 3-4 min, then add in the drained spaghetti, along with about half of the pasta cooking water, salt, pepper, the rest of the lemon juice, and most of the remaining zest (reserve some zest for garnish). Stir very well and cook for 2-4 min.
  • Take the pan off the heat, sprinkle in half of the parmesan, and stir it in quickly with tongs, moving the spaghetti around vigorously to incorporate. Repeat with the remaining parmesan, adding in some pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce as desired.
  • Thinly slice the fresh basil leaves, if using. Serve pasta topped with fresh herbs, and garnished with extra parmesan and zest as desired.
