- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6-8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced or finely diced

Instruções
- 1.Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water.
- 2.While the pasta cooks, in a large skillet or pan, combine the olive oil, thinly sliced garlic, and sliced or diced onion. Heat over very low heat. Allow the garlic and onion to gently simmer and infuse the oil for 8-10 minutes, or until deeply aromatic and softened but not browned.
- 3.Remove the skillet from heat. Add the lemon zest to the infused oil mixture.
- 4.Drain the cooked pasta. Add the hot pasta directly to the skillet with the infused oil. Add the fresh lemon juice and about half of the reserved pasta water.
- 5.Toss vigorously to coat the pasta, allowing the starches from the pasta and water to emulsify with the oil, creating a light, flavorful sauce. Add more pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- 6.Stir in the fresh chopped herbs, sea salt, and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
