Sriracha and lemon spaghetti🍋🍋

-Sriracha and lemon spaghetti is a zesty and slightly spicy pasta dish that's quick and easy to prepare. The combination of spicy sriracha sauce and tangy lemon juice creates a vibrant and flavorful sauce for your pasta.

Ingredients:

200g spaghetti
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tbsp sriracha
75g parmesan, finely grated
a small handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
½ lemon, zested

Directions:

-Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water following pack instructions until al dente.

-Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and gently cook the garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Use tongs to move the spaghetti into the frying pan, add in the sriracha, three-quarters of the parmesan, half the parsley and half the lemon zest, along with 3-4 tbsp of the pasta cooking water. Toss well to emulsify, adding a little extra cooking water if it needs loosening. Season, then divide between two shallow bowls.

-Sprinkle over the remaining parmesan, lemon zest and parsley, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to serve.

These citrus fruit are on the saccharine side and popular in Southeast Asia, where people regularly drink fresh sweet lime juice on-the-go. Feel free to use these to make a perfect limeade.
