If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb the flavors.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese makes a wonderful addition to this dish.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice and pepper to your preference. Taste and season accordingly.
If you don't have fresh herbs, you can substitute with dried herbs. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried parsley and 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil.
To make this dish spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
