Directions

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'.

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. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and slowly drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil while whisking. Whisk until the ingredients have emulsified. Mix in the salt and Parmigiano cheese.

When the spaghetti is 'al dente', drain and add to the serving bowl. Mix the pasta with the lemon sauce to coat evenly. Sprinkle the pasta dish with Parmigiano cheese, fresh parsley and lemon zest. Serve immediately.

    I LOVE this quick and delicious dish! The first time I saw David make it, I jumped up right then and there and went into my kitchen to cook it for myself! I had all the fresh ingrediants and it was heaven to my tastebuds! It only takes about 10 minutes. I make it quite often now when I am hungry and need pasta quick! ;- I sometimes add frozen green peas to the pasta right after I drain it. Thanks David!
