- 3 tablespoons lemon juice fresh squeezed
- 1/4 cup parsley minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste

Also, drizzle a 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil onto the spaghetti. Mix one more time and serve with more crushed red pepper flakes, extra virgin olive, lemon wedges and cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
- If the pasta dries out before serving, just add a few ounces of the reserved pasta water to loosen it right up.
- Only 1 tsp of kosher salt was used, adjust according to taste.
- Crushed red pepper is optional.
- Serve with extra red pepper flakes, extra virgin olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and lemon wedges on the side.
