SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC, CHILIES, LEMON AND CRISPY BREAD CRUMBS

Category: Pasta

Bread crumbs:
1 cup coarse homemade bread crumbs
1/2 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper

1 pound spaghetti, cooked al dente
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
5 large cloves of garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
2 to 3 dry hot red chili peppers, crushed
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

In a heavy frying pan, heat the oil and add the bread crumbs, lemon zest, salt & pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until the crumbs are crisp and light brown. Set aside.

While pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a small, heavy saucepan. Add the garlic and chili peppers and cook until sizzling but not browned. Remove from the heat.

Once the pasta is cooked al dente, remove a small cup of pasta water, and drain the pasta. Return to the pot, and add the garlic oil, and lemon juice. Mix well over medium heat until hot, adding a little pasta water if the mixture seems dry. Add the parsley, mix well and serve with the crispy bread crumbs on top.
