Ingredients for 4 servings
For Gremolata:
1 cup loosely packed flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Zest of ½ lemon
For the Spaghetti:
½ cup crème fraîche
½ pound dried whole-wheat spaghetti
½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, finely grated (about 1 cup), plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons lemon juice
flat-leaf parsley leaves, for garnish
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Make the gremolata:
In a small bowl, combine the parsley with the garlic and lemon zest. Using a spatula or small spoon, mix until just combined and set aside. (You should have about ¼ cup.)
Make the spaghetti:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, according to the package instructions or about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the crème fraîche with the olive oil and lemon juice until combined. Add the Parmesan, red-pepper flakes and reserved gremolata; mix until combined.
When the spaghetti is cooked, use tongs to transfer it directly to the bowl with the sauce. Toss the spaghetti until the sauce coats the noodles evenly, adding pasta water 1 tablespoon at a time to thin the sauce if needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer the spaghetti to a large serving bowl or divide among four plates. Garnish the spaghetti with additional Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil and the whole parsley leaves. Serve immediately.
