Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 2 minutes.
In a frying pan, gently cook the garlic and chilli in the olive oil until fragrant - a couple of minutes. Take care to stir often so the garlic doesn’t burn.
Add a squeeze of lemon and a splash of the pasta water, followed by the pasta. Shake and stir the pan to emulsify the sauce.
Serve immediately scattered with the parsley.
