1TBolive oil
½cloveof garlicfinely chopped
Juice and zest of half a lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook the pasta per the instructions in a pot of boiling salted water. Cook until just before al-dente. Strain and set aside. Don’t toss the water.
In a frying pan, heat the oil and garlic. When the garlic is sizzling, turn off the heat and add in the pasta and the cheese. Toss to coat, and the heat will help melt the cheese.
If needed, add a bit of the pasta water to make a more watery sauce. When ready to serve, give a good squeeze of lemon juice.
