Fresh Lemon Herb Pasta

Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add lemon juice and zest to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it (reserve a little pasta water) and add it to the skillet. Toss to combine with the lemon-garlic mixture.

Add fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese to the pasta. Toss again, adding reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
