Preparation Steps

• Boil water in a large pot and add salt. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente.
• While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
• Zest the lemon directly into the skillet, then squeeze in the lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
• Once the pasta is cooked, reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the linguine.
• Add the drained linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat in the lemon butter sauce. If needed, add reserved pasta water for creaminess.
• Garnish the dish with chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
