This speedy dish is perfect for a light lunch or simple dinner. Cook 220g dried linguine in salted boiling water until al dente. Finely grate the zest from 2 lemons and squeeze the juice of ½ (you need 1 tbsp). Drain the linguine, reserving 150ml of the cooking water. Melt 40g unsalted butter in a large sauté pan until foaming. Add half the lemon zest and 1 garlic clove, crushed. Cook gently for 1 minute then mix in the linguine, lemon juice and 125ml pasta water. Add 30g grated Parmesan* and toss until you have a coating sauce, adding extra pasta water if needed, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Divide between bowls and scatter with the rest of the zest, more Parmesan and pepper. *Use vegetarian cheese, if required.
