Calories: 268kcal

Ingredients: 
-13.5 oz package of spaghetti
-1/4 cup  extra virgin olive oil
-3 tablespoons fresh diced garlic
-1/2 teaspoon pepper
-3/4 cup whipping cream
-1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
-1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
-1 cup parmesan cheese
-reserved pasta water

optional:
-1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
-fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1) Start a large pot of salted water on the stove to boil. When it reaches a boil, add in the pasta and cook until al dente.

2) While the water is heating begin to prep the sauce. Start by adding the olive oil to a large deep frying pan and heat on low. Add the diced garlic, pepper and red pepper flaked (optional).    Do not brown the garlic, that would make it bitter.  Continue to cook on low for about 10 minutes.  

3) Add in the lemon zest and the whipping cream to the oil and garlic pan. Gently combine the ingredients and blend the flavours together.  As you stir the sauce will begin to thicken. 

4) Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the sauce. and add in the lemon juice and half the parmesan cheese..  Stir gently until combined.  

5) Slowly remove the pasta from the water (do not dump) and add directly to the sauce.  Add up to 1 cup of the pasta water to the sauce mixture to smooth sauce.  Toss the pasta really well to ensure the sauce is well distributed.

6) Plate pasta and sprinkle  parmesan and parsley on top and ENJOY!
