Note from Ricardo
The 24 garlic cloves will produce a very aromatic sauce. This is a clever shortcut to achieve full-bodied flavour with minimal effort or sophisticated ingredients. Packages of pre-peeled garlic cloves are available in most supermarkets and will simplify the preparation of this recipe.
Reuse the lemon you have zested by cutting it into wedges and serving it with the pasta.
