Instructions
In a medium bowl, smash half the pine nuts to a paste.
Add the remaining pine nuts whole, along with the lemon zest, parsley, olive oil, and cheeses.
Add in lemon juice to taste, aiming for a tarter-than-you'd think flavor (the lemon will be muted once it's mixed with the pasta).
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, reserving at least a cup of cooking water before draining.
Return the pasta to the pot and scrape the sauce into the pot.
Add in a splash of pasta cooking water and toss the noodles well with tongs to coat them in the sauce. Aim for a luxurious consistency wetter than you'd think; as much as a cup of cooking water might be required. Season to taste with salt and pepper while still in the pot.
Divide the pasta amongst 4 plates and top with the whole parsley leaves.
