Ingredients:

1 lb Kosher salt

Directions:
Directions:
1. Bring a very large pot filled halfway with water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and the linguine; cook, stirring, until the linguine is almost al dente, about 9 minutes. Stir in the spinach and the zucchini, if using. Cook, stirring frequently, until the linguine is al dente and the spinach is tender, about 2 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, using a micro-plane grater, zest the lemons, removing only the yellow skin and avoiding the white pith. Halve the lemons; squeeze the juice into a small bowl.
3. Remove and reserve 1/2 c of the pasta water from the pot; drain the linguine into a strainer. Pour the lemon juice over the pasta.
4. Add the pasta water, cream, and lemon zest to the empty pot and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Add the linguine and toss well until thoroughly coated. Season with salt and pepper and serve in a bowl with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
