a delicious, quick summer dish

Cook the spaghetti in salted water until al dente. When done, drain, leave in the pan, and add the butter. Meanwhile, peel the garlic cloves, press them down lightly with the flat side of a knife (I also like to dice the cloves), and fry them in olive oil until golden yellow. If you like, you can remove the garlic from the oil to prevent it from becoming bitter. I never remove it, and it always tastes great. Remove the crust from the white bread and crumble the bread well. Then toast the breadcrumbs in the flavored olive oil until golden brown. Add the cooked spaghetti directly to the pan, toss to coat, and toss well with the toasted breadcrumbs. Stir in the parsley. Serve the spaghetti and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
