Chef's tipGluten-free pasta often cooks faster, so check it a little early to avoid becoming mushy. - 1 tbsp kosher salt, for pasta water
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Chef's tipSwap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat. - ½ tsp red pepper flakes

- 1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tbsp kosher salt, then add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente — tender with a slight resistance at the center, about 9–11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining, then drain the pasta through a colander.

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is pale golden and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes — watch closely, as the slices can brown quickly.
