Spaghetti aglio e olio—or spaghetti with garlic and oil—is a classic Italian dish and one of the quickest, tastiest dinners you can make with a handful of staple ingredients. We top ours with garlicky toasted breadcrumbs mixed with fresh parsley, lemon zest and Parmesan. The crumbs bring a crispness that contrasts the al dente pasta as well as adds another layer of flavor. Be sure to use light, airy panko breadcrumbs, not fine dry breadcrumbs, which won’t add texture.

A great recipe that comes together quickly. Don't skimp on extra olive oil and lemon juice. Light and flavorful. We added sautéed chicken and it was a great match.

Great as is abut also fun to play with.
Great recipe that led to some fun experimenting. We ended up adding peas and poached eggs which was so delicious. This recipe is a keeper.
