Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground coarse pepper
- Salt
- 1 pound angel hair pasta
- 1 lemon, zested
- 3 ounces manchego or Parmesan, finely grated
Instructions
- In a large straight-sided saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, pepper and a pinch of salt. Heat and toast the pepper until the oil is fragrant with the pepper scent, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and allow the moisture to evaporate from the pasta for a couple of minutes.
- Add the pasta to the pan with the olive oil, raise the heat to medium-high and continuously toss the pasta with tongs to coat with the olive oil and pepper. Remove from the heat, add the lemon zest and cheese, toss and then transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Reviews
So easy and crowd pleasing!! Will definitely make it again.
Easy and elegant…I added some basil and garlic, used linguini fini and steamed mussels to go with it…in fact that’s what’s for dinner tonight!! It reminds me of a simple pasta dish I had on South Beach.
This is seriously good food!! We loved it and it was so easy and quick. Great with the garlic tomato shirmp and would be good with so many other things. I will put this recipe in my bag of tricks!
Fantastic!
This dish was excellent for a combination of reasons. It was so easy…had it on the table in an hour with the garlic tomato shrimp. At first thought too much pepper, but NO…the lemon contrast sets it off just right! Had a gourmet meal on a Tuesday!
