Lemon Garlic Spaghetti

I made this for dinner on Sunday night and it was pretty good.... but it needs a little help. It was kind of dry, and maybe a little bland. Any suggestions to spruce it up? I'm on the line as to whether it was good enough to make it again and Matt is definitely on the line.
Lemon Garlic Spaghetti – serves 2

4 oz dry spaghetti
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
1/2 lemon
2 tbsp pine nuts (definitely don't need this much)
5-6 basil leaves, chiffonaded

First, start your garlic oil. Pour in olive oil and chopped up garlic into a small frying pan and let it cook over low, until the garlic starts to brown on edges. Immediately remove from heat and reserve.
While that’s starting up, boil up some spaghetti.

Chiffonade some basil leaves, fresh is, as usual, the best.
Then you take some cheese and some pine nuts…

And dump it into a large bowl, with the garlic oil, garlic chunks and all. Squeeze in lemon juice. Throw in the spaghetti and toss until well combined. Plate, crack some black pepper on it, and eat.

I got this recipe from pinterest... so no love lost if I don't try it again.
