• 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1/2 cup chopped garlic
• 1 3/4 cups chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 ounce Asiago, Pecorino, or Parmesan cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler

1. Cook the pasta according to the label until al dente. Reserve 3 TBSP cooking liquid; drain.
