Ingredients

200g spaghetti
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tbsp sriracha
75g parmesan, finely grated
a small handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
½ lemon, zested

Method

STEP 1
Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water following pack instructions until al dente.
STEP 2
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and gently cook the garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Use tongs to move the spaghetti into the frying pan, add in the sriracha, three-quarters of the parmesan, half the parsley and half the lemon zest, along with 3-4 tbsp of the pasta cooking water. Toss well to emulsify, adding a little extra cooking water if it needs loosening. Season, then divide between two shallow bowls.
STEP 3
Sprinkle over the remaining parmesan, lemon zest and parsley, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to serve.
