  1. Place a large pot of well-salted water on to boil.
  2. Meanwhile, zest and juice the lemon and set aside both separately. In a small bowl, add the eggs and parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine.
  3. Once the water is boiling, drop in your linguine, then place a large pan over medium-low heat. Add 2 Tbsp of the butter, grated lemon zest and garlic and toast until lightly golden, a few minutes.
  4. Add the lemon juice to the pan to stop the garlic browning, then add the linguine from the pasta pot using tongs (don’t drain the water). Turn the heat down to its lowest setting.
  5. Toss lightly to coat the pasta, then add the egg and cheese mix. Stir the pasta over a very low heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Be careful not to scramble the egg.
  6. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Lemon pasta often needs a bit more salt to balance out the acidity so don’t be afraid.
