Start to cook the spaghetti. Add about 1 to 1.5% salt of the amount of hot water (use about 10-15g salt per litre hot water).

Put 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and the lemon juice into a bowl and whisk well.

Grate in the parmigiano reggiano, add the black pepper and 1 more tbsp olive oil and whisk well again.

Add the cooked spaghetti into the bowl with 3-4 tbsp of the pasta water. Tear in the basil leaves and mix well for 1 minute.

Transfer to a serving dish. Grate more parmigiano reggiano if you like and some lemon zest. Enjoy a lovely summery breeze of Amalfi!
