Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 lb (3/4 box) spaghetti
coarse salt
1 lemon
1 1/2 cups finely grated fresh parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
pasta water , to thin
handful fresh basil leaves (from 4 leafy stems)

Directions:

Boil the spaghetti in salted boiling water, according to the package directions.
Meanwhile, using a Microplane, grate the zest from the lemon into a large mixing bowl. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl (I like to use the grater as a strainerone less thing to clean). Add the 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, pepper, and a pinch of salt, and mix in the olive oil to form a wet paste.
When the spaghetti is perfectly cooked, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the cooking water to the lemon and cheese mixture. Add the spaghetti to the bowl and toss thoroughly, adding another tablespoon or 2 of pasta water if necessary so that the sauce coats each strand. Roughly tear in the basil leaves.
Serve each portion with a sprinkle of coarse salt, a fresh grind of black pepper, and a few gratings of extra Parmesan.
