Whisk in the lemon juice; the mixture will thicken slightly. Whisk in the cheese a handful at a time until smooth, then whisk in 1 teaspoon salt and 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper; set aside, uncovered.

Step 3

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 1⁄2 cup cooking water; drain and return to the pot. Pour the sauce over the pasta; toss, adding cooking water to thin. Season with salt and pepper.
