Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water (1 tablespoon salt per litre) to the boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, then reserve 1 cup of the cooking water before draining.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant, without browning. Add the butter and lemon zest and stir until melted.
3. Stir in the lemon juice, heavy cream and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
4. Add the drained pasta to the sauce with the Parmesan and a splash of the reserved pasta water. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta, adding more pasta water if needed for a creamy texture.
5. Finish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if you like, and serve straight away.
