Instructions

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. Reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic, lemon zest, and black pepper. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the cooked pasta and ½ cup pasta water to the pan, tossing to coat.
4. Lower the heat and stir in Parmesan until melted and glossy, adding more pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
5. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, or more cheese.
