Ingredients

  • 140 g Spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon (juice only)
  • 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper
  • 4 garlic clove crushed
  • 40 g fresh basil finely chopped
  • 40 g fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 50 ml pasta water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the spaghetti to a pan of boiling water and simmer for 12 minutes.
  2. Drain the spaghetti (reserving a little of the water) and then put it back in the pan and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and serve.

Notes

  • Don't forget to take some water out of the spaghetti pan before you drain it as this will make such a difference to your sauce. If you do forget, just boil some water in the kettle and add that.
  • If you like your food spicy, then add a sprinkle of red chilli flakes on top before serving.
  • Serve with extra Parmesan, fresh parsley and cracked black pepper if you like.
  • Cook your spaghetti until al dente, as you don't want it to get too mushy.
  • Make this a little more indulgent by melting some butter in to the spaghetti.
