recipe
Step 1
Cook the spaghetti in salted water. When al dente, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, drain & set aside.
Step 2
Meanwhile, peel & thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Add the breadcrumbs to a nonstick skillet over medium heat & toast for about 2-3 min, stirring often, until lightly golden. Transfer to a bowl & set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic & stir occasionally until golden, 1-2 min. Turn the heat down to low, add the red pepper flakes & cook about 30 sec. Carefully add the reserved pasta water & stir for about 1 min.
Step 5
Add the spaghetti, butter, lots of black pepper & the breadcrumbs. Using tongs, gently toss to combine, about 4 min. (The sauce will thicken & coat the spaghetti.) Add the parmesan & stir to combine. Finish with salt & serve immediately with extra cheese on the side.
If you have fresh herbs, like parsley, oregano or basil, you can chop & add them to the pan with the parmesan. Or add a couple of handfuls of chopped spinach, kale or arugula leaves when you add the breadcrumbs.
