Cook the spaghetti until al dente, following the package instructions, usually about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Pour the lemon oil mixture over the drained spaghetti. Toss gently until coated. Stir in Parmesan cheese, basil, lemon zest, and cherry tomatoes.

Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.
