One-Pan Lemon Garlic Pasta

• 8 oz Spaghetti
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 2.5 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes(optional)

   In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
