Flip and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the pan and set aside. Taste and season again, if necessary.

If needed, add an additional 1/4 cup pasta water or more to loosen. Add the fresh herbs and toss again. Top with additional herbs and the remaining lemon zest. Serve in bowls, and pass grated cheese at the table. Season with flaky salt, if desired.
