Step 1

Add some oil to a pan, and toast the pasta for 2-3 minutes until slightly golden.

Step 2

Add the zest of 1 lemon to the pasta along with the water, 1 cup at a time. Then, add a bit of salt.

Step 3

Simmer until the pasta is al dente and there is water left over. I like it pretty brothy.

Step 4

Squeeze half a lemon on to the pasta and add Parmigiano. Cook while mixing together for 1 more minute.

Step 5

Turn heat off and add butter. Mix it vigorously until emulsified into the pasta water.

Step 6

Zest the other lemon and rub some salt with it. Then, add the lemon salt to the pasta. Serve with more parmesan and black pepper on top and that is it!
