Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
In a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, add Olive Oil (1 Tbsp). Once hot, add half of the Garlic (2 tsp) and Panko Breadcrumbs (1/2 cup). Toast the breadcrumbs for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
step 2
Transfer breadcrumbs to a heat-proof bowl, add Galbani Parmesan Cheese (4 Tbsp) and mix to combine. Set aside.
step 3
In a pot boil water over medium-high heat, add Salt (1 tsp). Once boiling, add Spaghetti (8 oz). Cook 1-2 minutes less than the directions on the package.
step 4
While the pasta is cooking, in the same pan that cooked breadcrumbs, add remaining Olive Oil (1 Tbsp), remaining Garlic, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/2 tsp), Salt (1/4 tsp), Lemon Zest (1), and Lemon Juice. Cook for about 2 minutes.
step 5
Add Heavy Cream (1/2 cup) and Galbani Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup). Cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
step 6
Use a tong or a slotted spoon to scoop the pasta into the pan. Toss pasta with sauce, then add 1/4 cup of pasta water. Toss to combine.
step 7
Sprinkle with breadcrumb mixture and Fresh Parsley (1 tsp) on top. Serve.
