1 Boil a pot of water.
2 While the water is going, mince one garlic clove finely. Finely chop some parsley to finish prep.
3 Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and follow package instructions to cook until al dente. Add salt to taste.
4 Preheat a pan to medium heat. Add a TBSP of butter and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 30 seconds and lower the heat to low.
5 Add the pasta water, lemon juice, and start adding 3 TBSP of butter one at a time and whisk. Once you have a nice butter lemon sauce going, add in the heavy cream, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, black pepper and whisk. Add 3 more TBSP of butter and whisk to thicken the sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens.
6 Once the sauce thickens, cut the heat and add half of the grated parmesan cheese. Add the pasta and toss to combine. Add the other half of the grated parmesan and toss until coated.
