Method

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.

2

While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3

Remove skillet from heat. Stir in lemon juice and vegetable broth, then return to medium-low heat.

4

Transfer drained pasta to the skillet with the lemon-butter sauce. Toss gently, adding pasta water a few tablespoons at a time until the sauce is creamy and coats the noodles evenly.

5

Stir in half the grated Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.

6

Divide pasta among serving bowls. Top with remaining Parmesan, fresh parsley, and red pepper flakes if desired.
