Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions (typically 9 to 10 minutes). Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining the spaghetti, do not rinse.
In a large skillet, over medium heat, heat the extra virgin olive oil. Add the minced garlic, stir and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).
Slowly add the half cup of pasta water and simmer until it has reduced by 1/3 (about 3 to 5 minutes).
Lower heat to low, add the cooked pasta, lime juice, salt, cumin. Lightly toss together until the sauce coats the pasta.
Remove skillet from heat, toss in the fresh cilantro and top with lime zest, and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
