Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Season with salt until the water tastes like a seasoned soup. Drop in the pasta and cook until very al dente (slightly more than half the recommended cooking time).

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large deep sauté pan, heat the butter and garlic over medium-low heat and cook until the garlic starts sizzling with little bubbles around it, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the olive oil, then the lemon zest and lemon juice, and let the flavors mingle. Pour in the cream and season with a heavy pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, frequently stirring, until the cream sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes longer.

Step 3

Transfer the pasta to the sauté pan along with a ladle (1/2 cup) of pasta cooking water. Cook the pasta until al dente. Check frequently to see when the pasta is done and add more pasta cooking water as needed to finish cooking the pasta and keep the sauce loose. Serve with lemon zest sprinkled on top.
