Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Pour in the vegetable stock, scraping up any browned bits from the pan, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the lemon juice and black pepper.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss gently to combine.
Cook for another 1–2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Remove from heat and, if using, stir in the butter until melted.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Add a splash of reserved pasta cooking water as needed to loosen the sauce and help it coat the pasta evenly.
