Directions:
- 1Place a medium pot on the stove ¾ filled with water and bring to a boil. Add salt, aiming for the water to taste obviously salty.
- 2Place the oil, spring onion, garlic and chilli flakes with a pinch of salt in a cold pan on the stove. Turn onto a medium–low heat, try not to have the oil so hot that it starts to fry, the aim is to sweeten the ingredients more than fry them.
- 3Place the pasta in the boiling water and cook until just before it's 'done' (it will finish cooking in the other hot pan!).
- 4Add the pasta and a ladle of the salty pasta water to the onion mixture in the hot fry pan. Stir to combine, and grate lemon zest over top.
- 5Place in your serving bowl, top with lemon zest and parsley.
