This pasta recipe is a prime example of less is more. Fresh lemon juice and finely grated zest are quickly tossed with hot spaghetti, butter, olive oil and pasta cooking water to make a bright and velvety sauce. We finish it with Parmesan and black pepper for a simple, comforting weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Kosher salt
12 ounces spaghetti
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus juice of 2 lemons
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Coarsely ground pepper

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs for al dente.
Meanwhile, combine the olive oil and lemon zest and juice in a large skillet. When you are about to drain the spaghetti, turn the heat under the skillet to medium. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and transfer to the skillet. Add 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Add the butter and cook, tossing quickly, until the sauce glazes the spaghetti, about 30 seconds; add more cooking water a few tablespoons at a time if the spaghetti seems dry. Add the parmesan and toss to melt; season with salt.
Divide the spaghetti among bowls. Top generously with more Parmesan and coarse pepper.
