Bring a large saucepan of well salted water to a boil.
In a small saucepan, cook garlic in oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened; transfer to a large bowl. Add toasted pine nuts (crushing them slightly with the back of a fork), lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, salt and pepper, to taste.
Cook pasta in boiling water in a pot until al dente, about 8 minutes; reserve 2 T. pasta cooking water, drain well.
Place pasta back into the pot; add the reserved cooking water to it. Heat to warm the mixture; toss with lemon mixture until absorbed.
Serve pasta warm or at room temperature. Garnish with a little of your favorite grated cheese, if desired.
