When butter is melted, add minced garlic. Squeeze lemon juice into the pan. Turn off heat.

In a large bowl, pour mixture over drained spaghetti and stir together, then pour spaghetti into an oven-safe dish.

Bake, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake 7-10 minutes longer. (Don’t bake too long or the pasta will dry out.)
