Heat oil in a pot. Add garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until brown and fragrant.
Add chicken broth, seasoning and pasta to the pot. If pasta is not covered by broth, slowly aadd more broth until spaghetti is just barely covered. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes.
Stir in milk and lemon juice and cook together another 3-5 minutes on low.
Add parmesan and stir until melted. Optional: Add 2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes for extra spice. Serve with lemon slices/wedges and topped with extra parmesan and parsley as desired.

Use a large pan or pot to fit pasta as it cooks.
While we love fresh garlic, jarred, chopped or minced garlic always works when you're in a pinch!
Be sure to roll your lemon before juicing. See these tips on juicing a lemon!
If pasta is not covered by broth, slowly add more broth until spaghetti is just barely covered.
Use fresh basil and/or parsley instead of jarred if preferable!
To add more or less “heat,” simply modify the amount of red pepper flakes. Start with a pinch or 1 teaspoon and add more as needed.
