Cook the gemelli pasta in the boiling water until al dente, following the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the pasta.

Add the crushed red pepper flakes to the pan and cook for another 30 seconds.
5
Pour a ladle of reserved pasta water into the pan and turn the heat to medium.

Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and grated Parmigiano Reggiano to the pan. Toss to combine.

If the pasta seems too dry, add a little more reserved pasta water and toss once more.
