Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams spaghetti
- 3 tablespoons unsalted low-fat butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 100 milliliters reserved pasta water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 100 milliliters of pasta water before draining the spaghetti.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the low-fat butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the lemon zest and fresh lemon juice. Add the reserved pasta water and stir to combine, creating a light sauce.
Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the lemon butter sauce.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the spaghetti and gently mix to incorporate into the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the spaghetti warm, optionally with extra Parmesan cheese on the side.
