Directions

- 3Remove the woody tips from the garlic cloves.
- 4Thinly slice the peeled garlic cloves.
- 5Remove one end of the lemon to allow it to sit flat.
- 6Slice off the zest of the whole lemon, being careful to remove as little pith as possible.
- 7Slice the lemon in half; you will only need the juice from half.
- 8Remove any extra pith from the lemon zest by slicing it off.
- 9Thinly slice the cleaned lemon zest using a julienne cut.
- 10Juice half of the lemon; you can save the other half.

- 14Place a large pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and unsalted butter, and allow the butter to melt.
- 15Add the thinly sliced garlic and a pinch of sea salt flakes to the pan, gently fry for one minute, and do not let the garlic brown.
- 16Add the thinly sliced lemon zest and lemon juice to the pan, cook for one minute, and mix occasionally.
- 17Add one cup of thickened cream and season with cracked black pepper to taste. Mix well.
- 18Bring the cream sauce to a light boil, reduce the heat to low, and allow it to simmer and slightly reduce.
- 19Transfer the cooked spaghetti directly from the pot into the cream sauce.
- 20Add the chopped parsley to the sauce and fold everything together.
- 21Cook for one minute to finish the pasta and allow the sauce to thicken.
