Ingredients:  
1 lb dry spaghetti
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 cup panko bread crumbs
3 cloves garlic minced
¼ to ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

Directions:
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until just barely al dente. Drain the pasta: set aside.

2. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat until foaming. Add the panko and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

3. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. Melt the remaining 8 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon so the it melts evenly. Once the butter begins to foam and form brown bits, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the butter is browned with a nutty aroma. Remove the skillet from the heat.

4. Add the pasta and Parmesan to the skillet and use tongs to toss together until the pasta is evenly coated with the brown butter and cheese. Add the reserved panko, lemon juice, and parsley and toss to combine.

Super quick and easy recipe, that can be altered easily per your personal taste preferences.

I used Ronzoni Garden Delight Veggie spaghetti noodles.
I like garlic so I used 6 cloves of garlic and I used salted butter. Already had some Progresso Italian bread crumbs in the cupboard so I used those and they worked fine.
