You won't believe how deliciously simple this dish can be!

1

Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add 200 grams of spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

2

While the spaghetti cooks, zest both lemons and then juice them to get about 1/4 cup of lemon juice.

3

In a large pan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the lemon zest and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4

Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

5

Add the drained spaghetti to the pan with the lemon zest and mix well. If it seems dry, add some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

6

Stir in the lemon juice and grated parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese melts and creates a creamy sauce.

7

Season with black pepper and salt to taste. If desired, garnish with fresh basil before serving.
