Step 1

Cook the spaghetti in lots of well salted water.

Step 2

Meanwhile whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl.

Step 3

When the pasta is cooked, transfer it with tongs to the bowl (it's ok if some of the pasta water comes with it.) Immediately toss vigorously to get all the pasta coated in the lemony olive oil mixture. Add a little more pasta water if needed. Add salt to taste, if necessary, and black pepper. Note: as you toss the spaghetti it will absorb some of the sauce.

Step 4

Add the fresh basil and give everything a last toss, and serve immediately with an extra sprinkle of cheese, lemon zest, and more fresh cracked black pepper.
