Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the calabrian chili flakes and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat with the oil and chili flakes. If the pasta seems dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Stir in the bread crumbs and chopped parsley, mixing well. Remove from heat and add the grated parmigiano reggiano, tossing to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the spaghetti and garnish with additional parmigiano reggiano and parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
