In a nonstick pan, add butter, ginger and garlic and cook on medium heat until fragrant.
Add lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, water and mix everything together.
Add the spaghetti and mix again.
Cook without lid on medium heat until the water is almost evaporated. Make sure to stir often or else the pasta might stick to the pan.
When pasta is almost cooked, add cream cheese and mix together.
Remove pan from the heat and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
Garnish with cilantro/ parsley and some lemon slices. Enjoy!
