  4. Add garlic and three-quarters of the parsley, stir to incorporate, and cook until garlic is translucent.
  5. Add pasta, lemon juice, and cheese, and stir or toss everything together. Give the cheese a minute or so to melt, stirring a couple of times in the process. - - At this point, you'll want to salt to taste. I used about 1/2 teaspoon.
