Directions

1. Step 1

   Cook pasta in generously salted water, until al-dente, or even just before that point, as it will finish cooking in a frypan.

2. Step 2

   Slice the garlic into rounds and place in the oil in a pan on medium heat. Bring it to a simmer.

3. Step 3

   Chop all the parsley very finely. As soon as the garlic gets even a suggestion of colour, add the parsley and cook for 1 minute.

4. Step 4

   Add the pasta from the water to the parsley-oil mixture, along with ~1/2 cup of the pasta water (the starch in the water will help thicken the oily sauce in the pan). Zest the lemon over your pasta.

5. Step 5

   Turn the heat up for the last moment, season with salt & pepper, stirring to combine everything really well; then use tongs to place the pasta in a bowl.

6. Step 6

   Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a little extra lemon zest to garnish!
