Lemon spaghetti is a light and refreshing pasta dish bursting with citrus flavor. The tangy lemon sauce perfectly coats the spaghetti noodles, creating a simple yet elegant meal.

Ingredients: 8 oz spaghetti. 2 lemons, zest and juice. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. 3 cloves garlic, minced. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish.

Instructions: Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add lemon zest and juice to the skillet, stirring to combine. Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the lemon sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
