Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions, about 4 minutes. Reserve 3/4 c. pasta cooking water right before draining.
While pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter; add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Slowly add 1/2 c. reserved pasta water; bring to a low simmer; season with salt and pepper.
Add the pasta to the skillet; toss to coat. Season with pepper; stir in the cream. If the pasta seems dry, add in the remaining 1/4 c. pasta water. Remove from the heat; stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Serve garnished with fresh parsley and more Parmesan cheese, if desired.
4 servings.
