Time 30m

Yield 3 main dish servings, 4 or more first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup finely chopped basil leaves (no stems)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 pound spaghetti

Steps:

  • Set three quarts of salted water over high heat in a large covered pot.
  • While the water is heating, place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Saute the garlic for a minute or two, until soft but not brown, then add the breadcrumbs. Stir.
  • Increase the heat to high, add the cream and cook it for a minute or two, until it begins to thicken. Stir in the basil and remove the pan from heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in the cheese.
  • When the water is boiling add the spaghetti and cook, uncovered, until al dente, about seven minutes. Drain thoroughly and season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Toss the drained pasta in the skillet with the sauce mixture over medium heat for a minute or two, divide among three or more plates and serve.
