The name might not sound the most macho dish out there but don’t be fooled – this is a fantastic feast to knock up in half time. It will keep you fed in body as well as soul (with a bit of help from the beautiful game) and will also keep any non-football-loving-partners moans at bay. Smile sweetly, serve, then get yo’ ass back in front of the telly.
Lightly fry a whole, peeled clove of garlic in a good drizzle of olive oil. Once it’s started to brown, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for a minute. Add the lemon juice and remove the garlic.
Add the pasta to a pan of boiling, salted water and cook until it’s al dente.
As soon as it’s ready drain and mix in with the olive oil and lemon juice. Before serving mix in the lemon rind, chopped parsley a pinch of salt and grated parmesan to taste. Now stop the clock (about 8 minutes right?).
