Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
12 garlic cloves -- thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 lemon
1 bunch Italian parsley -- chopped
1 pound spaghetti
Garlicky Breadcrumbs

Heat the olive oil gently with the garlic in a small skillet. When the
garlic turns opaque, add the red chile pepper flakes, and the salt. Squeeze
the lemon into the hot oil. Turn off the heat and let the garlic turn light
golden at the edges. The garlic will continue to cook in the hot oil. When
the oil has cooled somewhat, add the parsley.

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in abundant boiling salted water until al
dente. Drain the pasta well in a colander and place in a shallow serving
dish. Pour the warm olive oil with the garlic, chile and parsley over the
pasta. If desired, drizzle more extra-virgin olive oil on top. Top with a
handful of Garlicky Breadcrumbs.

Drizzle a little olive oil in a pan along with minced garlic. Toss to coat
while adding bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
