Stir Fry Spaghetti with Olive Oil

This is my another quick & fast recipes to cook up something in the kitchen to fill up three hungry tummies. Yeah~! Stir Fry Spaghetti  with Olive Oil to the rescue. You can consider this a vegan recipes too because it doesn't contain any meat. This is a very delicious stir fry pasta.

Ingredients (2 serving):
200g Spaghetti
3 tbsp good quality Olive Oil
4 cloves of garlic
1 tsp chili flakes
Season with Salt & Pepper
Some Basil leaves (slightly cut into thin strips)

Retain some pasta water - 1/4 cup

Some smashed bread crumbs
(optional :you can use croutons, pls refer  -http://fabulouscake.blogspot.com/2011/02/delicious-croutons-for-salad.html. Just smash the croutons in a plastic bag with roller pins)

Method:
1) Cook pasta according to package instructions. Cook less than 1-2 mins or slightly below al-dente because we need to stir fry it later. It will become al-dente after stir fry.
2) Heat olive oil with small fire together with the garlic & chili flakes. Let it soak in the oil to cook for 5 mins, we need to infuse the olive oil with garlic fragrance. Keep an eye on the pan so that it doesn't burn. You just need to brown the garlic.
3) Turn to middle fire, add the smashed bread crumbs, stir fry to 30 seconds, then add in the cooked pasta. Stir fry quickly.
4) If the pasta is too dry, you can add some water  to stir fry it for about 1 mins. In the mean time, season the pasta with salt & pepper, basil.
5) Must serve warm. Enjoy~
