Instructions

1 In a small frying pan over low-medium heat add olive oil. Once heated up add
breadcrumbs and toss in olive oil. Toast until golden brown (but not burnt!)
tossing or mixing every few seconds. approx 5-7 minutes.
2 Add salt. Remove from the heat and add the cheese in 2 parts, stiring each time
to incorporate the cheese into the breadcrumbs without clumping, or burning.
Place on the side for later use.
3 Prepare pasta as per packaging in salty water. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water
before draining. Drain pasta and place on the side.
4 In a pot over low heat add olive oil. Once heated up add chili flakes and stir.
Cook flakes for 3 minutes.
5 Add garlic, and cook for 5 minutes. Garlic should not get brown or burn. If
either begins to happen lower the heat.
6 Add chopped anchovies and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
7 Add pasta water starting with 1/3 of a cup. Stir to incorporate the spicy garlic
oil and pasta water.
8 Add pasta and parsley and toss. If pasta is a little dry add the remaining pasta
water. Serve and top with crispy breadcrumbs. Enjoy!
