  • Step 4: Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large saucepan following packet directions until al dente. Drain well.

  • Step 5: Add the spaghetti to the garlic mixture and toss to coat. Add half the breadcrumbs and toss to coat.Spoon evenly among serving bowls. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs and serve immediately.
