    Utensils Used
    | 1. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. | 2. Add salt and spaghetti. | 3. Cook for 12-14 minutes. | 4. In the meantime, prepare the sauce: First, remove any thick or woody stems from the herbs and discard. | 5. Chop herbs finely- you should end up with about 3/4 cup of chopped herbs (a little more or less won't matter). | 6. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. | 7. Add garlic and cook until just beginning to colour. | 8. Remove saucepan from heat immediately. | 9. With the saucepan off the heat, add cream, butter, lemon rind and juice, herbs, salt and pepper and stir to mix well. | 10. When the spaghetti is cooked to your liking, drain it well then add the drained spaghetti to the saucepan (the one with the sauce in it). | 11. Return this saucepan to a low-medium heat and toss with two forks to combine the spaghetti with the sauce. | 12. Cook gently for a minute or two until the sauce begins to thicken and most, but not all, of it has been taken up by the spaghetti. | 13. Serve in bowls, drizzling over any remaining sauce. | 14. Top with parmesan cheese. | 15. Serve immediately. | 16. Serve as is or with a crisp green salad and a nice cold glass of dry white wine! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
