Creating Lemon Pasta is a delightful process that requires just a few steps. Follow these simple instructions to bring this dish to life:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
3. Combine Ingredients: Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked pasta, lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Toss to combine well. If the pasta seems dry, gradually incorporate reserved pasta water to achieve your desired texture.
4. Season the Pasta: Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.
5. Finish Up: Remove from heat, then stir in the Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve immediately with extra cheese and lemon wedges on top for garnish.
