Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 450 grams dry spaghetti pasta
  • 1 garlic clove, for rubbing
  • 2 lemons (juice only)
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 235 grams parmesan cheese, finely grated (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • Parsley (1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped)
  • 1 lemon (zest only, freshly grated)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place spaghetti in a pot of boiling salted water and stir immediately to prevent from sticking.

  • Step 2: Cut garlic in half and rub exposed area along the interior of a large serving bowl. This way the flavour of raw garlic will cover the inside surface of the bowl. Discard the garlic.

  • Step 3: Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and slowly drizzle in extra virgin olive oil while stirring. Stir well until the ingredients have emulsified. Mix in salt and parmesan cheese.

  • Step 4: When the spaghetti is ‘al dente’, drain and add to the serving bowl. Mix well. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, parsley and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
