Nif's Garlic and Bread Crumb Spaghetti

Submitted by Nif_H

"This is a surprisingly good combination of pasta and bread crumbs. I had never heard of that until I tried Noo's Recipe #309164. I came up with a version of my own that I think is quite tasty too! :) This is quick and easy as well, so it's a great last minute meal. Enjoy!"

There is nothing not to like about this spaghetti! Loved the amount of lemon and garlic and the extra crunch after I mixed a little panko in with the cheese and topped the spaghetti. A delicious side dish! Made and reviewed for Susie's World Tour 2019 - Italy.

Simple and tasty, we enjoyed the light lemony flavor . This was the perfect side for a rich creamy entree. I was originally thinking the crumbs would give it some crunch, the next time I make it I will make some extra to sprinkle on the top with the cheese. Made for SWT 2019 by one of the Sue Chefs

I made my own breadcrumbs and the secret of this recipe is the EVOO. I might have added more garlic.This is so fast and easy to put together. And delicious as well. Thanks for sharing.
