- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions

- Add the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together.
- Add reserved cooking water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce coats the pasta lightly.

- For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the lemon zest.
