Before you start

Grater | Big pan

Prepare the pasta

  • Bring a big pan of water to the boil, throw in a big pinch of salt, add the pasta and cook according to packet instructions (approx 9 minutes)

Make the gremolata

  • Roughly rip the parsley leaves off the stems, finely chop the leaves (reserving a few whole for garnish) and add to a bowl
  • Peel the garlic and grate with the fine side of a box grater
  • Zest the lemon
  • Halve the lemon and squeeze the juice over the parsley leaves
  • Add the garlic, lemon zest and olive oil to the bowl and stir to combine, adding more olive oil as needed to achieve a pesto-like consistency
  • Taste and season to perfection with salt, pepper and a little chilli

 

Finish the dish

  • Ladle a little pasta water into the gremolata mixing bowl and stir to combine
  • Drain the pasta, pour the pasta back in the pan, pour over the gremolata, stir to cover (adding more pasta water as needed to achieve a pesto-like consistency) and coat well
  • Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with the reserved parsley leaves, crushed hazelnuts, some more lemon zest and chilli flakes, a good crack of black pepper and serve immediately
