Boil water in a large pot, season with salt, and cook spaghetti until al dente.
In a pan, heat olive oil and butter, add sliced garlic, a pinch of sea salt flakes, and cook for about a minute.
Add thinly sliced lemon zest and juice, cook for another minute, then pour in thickened cream, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a light boil.
Reduce heat, simmer the sauce to thicken while pasta finishes cooking.
Transfer al dente pasta directly into the sauce, add parsley if using, and cook for an additional minute.
Serve in bowls or plates, garnish with lemon zest strands, parsley, fresh parmesan, and cracked black pepper.
Enjoy the creamy garlic lemon pasta! Serves 2-3 people.
