FAST food need not come from a carton, it can be quick and easy and most certainly done at home. Full of nutrition and flavour, pasta holds all the cards as a quick food item. Adding some simple flavours can transform a dish to something quite tasty.
WHAT TO DO
Place spaghetti in a pot of boiling salted water and stir immediately to prevent from sticking. Cut garlic in half and rub exposed area along the interior of a large serving bowl. This way the flavour of raw garlic will cover the inside surface of the bowl. Discard the garlic. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and slowly drizzle in extra virgin olive oil while stirring. Stir well until the ingredients have emulsified. Mix in salt and parmigiano cheese.
When the spaghetti is ‘al dente’, drain and add to the serving bowl. Mix well. Sprinkle with parmigiano cheese, parsley and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
