Espaguetis con Salsa de Limón is a vibrant and zesty gluten-free pasta dish that combines the refreshing flavors of lemon and garlic with perfectly cooked spaghetti. This light yet satisfying meal is perfect for a quick dinner or a delightful lunch.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free spaghetti - 160 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic cloves - 2, minced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon zest - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated (optional)

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
3. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti.
4. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and half of the reserved pasta water. Toss well to combine, adding more pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley and mix until evenly distributed.
6. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
