Ingredients

• 400 grams spaghetti noodles
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
• 125 milliliters heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 75 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 50 grams breadcrumbs
• 1 to taste salt
• 1 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet and stir. Allow the sauce to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 4

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is creamy and well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and chopped basil leaves, reserving a small amount of each for garnish. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

In a small separate pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Add the cooked spaghetti noodles to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.

Step 8

Serve the Noodles Parmano on plates or in bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of the toasted breadcrumbs, more grated parmesan, and chopped basil if desired.
