This recipe calls for walnuts, but my mom thinks pine nuts sound better in it. However, they are more expensive.

Servings: Serves 4–6
Ingredients
· 1 Tbsp. kosher salt , for pasta water,plus extra for seasoning to taste
· 8 ounces angel hair pasta
· 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
· 4 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
· 2 Tbsp. Italian parsley
· 2 cups Parmesan cheese , plus extrafor garnish
· 1/3 cups toasted chopped walnuts
· 1 lemon

Directions
Preheatthe oven to 200°. When the oven has reached 200°, turn off and place the 6pasta bowls you are going to use inside.
Fill a pasta pot with water with at least 2 1/2 quarts of water and add 1tablespoon of kosher salt. When the water has come to a boil, add the angelhair pasta. Angel hair cooks quickly— in about 3 to 5 minutes—so do notovercook!
Take the angel hair out of the water with tongs while it still has a tinycrunch when you bite into it (remember, the pasta continues to cook after youtake it out of the water and you don't want to end up with soft, soggy pasta).Place into a large, warm pasta bowl.
Do not throw out the pasta water.
In the bowl with the angel hair, add the olive oil, lemon and parsley, and mixgently with the tongs. Add a ladle full of the pasta water and mix again.
Take the pasta bowls out of the oven and line them up. Divide the angel hairbetween the bowls and sprinkle a generous amount of Parmesan cheese over thetop of each, about 2 to 3 tablespoons. Add some of chopped toasted walnuts,approximately 2 teaspoons, over the top of each serving and drizzle with oliveoil. Crack some fresh pepper and sprinkle a small amount of kosher salt and redpepper flakes on top as well. Finish with the lemon zest and serve with a lemonwedge.
