Notes
- Toast the Bread Crumbs for Flavor: Toasting the bread crumbs in a skillet with a little olive oil before adding them to the spaghetti can enhance their flavor and texture. Simply heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the bread crumbs, and cook, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and fragrant. Toasting the bread crumbs adds a nutty taste and crispy texture to the dish.
- Fresh Herbs for Brightness: While chopped parsley adds a fresh and vibrant flavor to the dish, consider using other fresh herbs like basil or thyme for additional depth of flavor. Fresh herbs not only add brightness to the dish but also complement the other ingredients, enhancing the overall taste experience. Garnish the finished dish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a pop of color and freshness.
- Adjust Seasoning to Taste: Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper gradually, tasting as you go, to ensure the flavors are well-balanced. Keep in mind that the amount of seasoning needed may vary depending on personal preference and the saltiness of the bread crumbs. Start with a small amount and gradually add more until you achieve the desired flavor profile.
