Instructions

Bring a pot of water to boil. Generously salt boiling water.
Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water until pasta is very al-dente.
While pasta cooks in boiling water, using another burner add EVOO to the skillet. Add sliced garlic and red chili flakes to the oil. Bring them to a gentle simmer, sautéing frequently. Continue to cook until extra virgin olive oil is infused with garlic and red chili flakes flavors, about 5-7 minutes. Do not burn garlic.
Add al-dente pasta directly from the pot to the pan along with ⅓ cup pasta cooked water.
Season the sauce and pasta with a generous pinch of salt and a dash of pepper.
Toss pasta in the sauce. If the sauce looks a bit too dry, add another ⅓ cup of pasta-cooked water.
Turn off the heat.
Grate lemon zest and squeeze in lemon juice. Sprinkle fresh parsley, Italian bread crumbs, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Toss well.
Serve it in a bowl immediately hot with more parsley, red chili flakes, Italian bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese.
