Lemon Spaghetti with Shrimp

This is a Giada De Laurentiis recipe that I've made so many times and for so many occasions that it takes me no time to prepare and never fails to be delicious. It can be a simple side dish - just the pasta and sauce or you can add shrimp, like we often do, or some beautiful veggies, like grilled asparagus or peppers and have it as a main.

There are only a few ingredients in this dish so make sure they are fresh. You must use an olive oil that tastes good to you, don't choose a cheap one. You can make the sauce ahead of time but it should be room temperature when added to the pasta. Having a microplane is a convenient tool for this dish, I use it to zest the lemon, then to finely grate the cheese and finally, the garlic.
