Method

  1. 1

    Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water according to the packet instructions, then drain, reserving a splash of the cooking water.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, toast the breadcrumbs in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes until golden, then tip out.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, gently fry the garlic and chilli flakes in the olive oil for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not coloured.

  4. 4

    Toss the spaghetti through the garlic oil with a splash of the cooking water and the parsley.

  5. 5

    Scatter with the crispy breadcrumbs to serve.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g parsley. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.
