## Ingredients

- 400 grams spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 lemon
- 0.5 lemon
- 1 cup thickened cream
- 10 grams parsley
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch salt
- 20 grams black pepper

## Instructions

1. Place a large pot of water over high heat, put on a lid, and allow it to come to a boil.
2. Prepare the garlic by crushing it and removing the cloves.
3. Remove the woody tips from the garlic cloves.
4. Thinly slice the peeled garlic cloves.
5. Remove one end of the lemon to allow it to sit flat.
6. Slice off the zest of the whole lemon, being careful to remove as little pith as possible.
7. Slice the lemon in half; you will only need the juice from half.
8. Remove any extra pith from the lemon zest by slicing it off.
9. Thinly slice the cleaned lemon zest using a julienne cut.
10. Juice half of the lemon; you can save the other half.
11. Roughly chop the parsley.
12. Generously season the boiling water with rock salt and add the spaghetti.
13. Cook the spaghetti for one minute less than the package instructions, until al dente.
14. Place a large pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and unsalted butter, and allow the butter to melt.
15. Add 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.
16. Add the thinly sliced lemon zest and lemon juice to the pan, cook for one minute, and mix occasionally.
17. Add one cup of thickened cream and season with cracked black pepper to taste. Mix well.
18. Bring the cream sauce to a light boil, reduce the heat to low, and allow it to simmer and slightly reduce.
19. Transfer the cooked spaghetti directly from the pot into the cream sauce.
20. Add the chopped parsley to the sauce and fold everything together.
21. Cook for one minute to finish the pasta and allow the sauce to thicken.
22. Serve the pasta in a bowl, garnish with lemon zest and parsley, and grate fresh Parmesan cheese over.
