During this process prepare your pasta (we used linguine pasta).

Chop a few sprigs of flat Italian parsley, and 2 teaspoons of lemon zest and set to the side for later.
Salt and pepper sauce to taste.

Add a dash of water from the boiling pasta if you need to smoothly mix in the sauce with the noodles.
