Ingredients

  • 400g dried fettuccine
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
  • 30g fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 20g fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 15g fresh chives, finely snipped
  • 10g fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
  • 80g Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Reserved pasta cooking water as needed

Instructions

1

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil and cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente, then reserve 250ml of pasta water before draining.

2

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil and butter in a large deep frying pan over medium-low heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.

3

Add the sliced garlic and chilli flakes to the pan, sautéing gently for 2 minutes until the garlic is softened and fragrant but not browned.

4

Remove the pan from heat and immediately add the lemon zest and half the lemon juice, stirring to combine.

5

Add the drained fettuccine directly to the pan along with 100ml of the reserved pasta water, tossing vigorously to coat the pasta evenly.

6

Add the chopped parsley, basil, chives, and mint to the pasta, tossing well to distribute the herbs throughout.

7

Sprinkle in half the Parmesan cheese and toss again, adding more pasta water as needed to create a light, glossy sauce that clings to the pasta.

8

Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and additional lemon juice to taste.

9

Divide among four warmed serving bowls and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and extra fresh herbs if desired.
