How to Make Angel Hair Pasta And Lemon Parsley Sauce

  1. Zest 2 lemons, avoiding the bitter white pith, and set aside.
  2. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  3. Roughly chop 1/2 cup of fresh parsley.
  4. In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Set aside.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of angel hair pasta and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
  6. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  7. Add the gremolata to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring gently, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  8. Add the drained pasta to the skillet along with 2-3 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water. Toss to coat.
  9. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup).
