1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta cooking water before draining.

3. Add 1/4 cup of pine nuts to the bowl. Lightly crush them with the back of a fork. Add the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
4. Add the drained pasta to the bowl with the lemon mixture. Toss to combine, adding the reserved pasta water 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
5. Serve the pasta warm or at room temperature. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
