"Back to basics never tasted so good! The lemon brightens up the dish, the Parmesan clings to each pasta strand perfectly, and the greens add a little freshness. And with the subtle but gorgeous hit of the happy flavours of garlic and chilli, you can see why this dish consistently stands the test of time!” – Hannah Lewry
