- Grated zest of 2 organic lemons plus the juice of 6 lemons (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 pound of spaghetti
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 2 to 3 cups baby arugula
- Finely chopped toasted pistachios, for serving

Preparation
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
In a serving bowl, whisk the lemon zest, lemon juice and EVOO. Season with salt and black pepper, and add the red pepper flakes (if using.)
Salt the boiling water, add the spaghetti and cook to al dente. Before draining, ladle out about 1 cup of the cooking water.
