directions

  • Put a large pan of water on to the boil for the pasta. Meanwhile, put the oil and nuts in a small pan and warm over a low heat.
  • Crush the garlic into the pan and sprinkle in the chili flakes if using. Continue warming until the nuts are lightly toasted, checking to make sure the garlic doesn't burn.
  • Finely grate the zest from both lemons then cut one in half and squeeze out the juice.
  • Once the pasta water is boiling, add a generous amount of salt and the spaghetti and cook, according to packet instructions.
  • Drain the spaghetti and tip into a serving bowl.
  • Pour over the garlicky oil and toss well with the lemon zest and juice, parsley, olives, parmesan and plenty of salt and pepper.
  • Add more lemon juice to taste - it should be fresh but not overly lemony. Serve with extra parmesan.
