Preheat oven to 170°C (338°F).

Take 2 bulbs of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and place in the oven.

Roast garlic for 20-25 minutes until soft when squeezed.

Cook 250 g of dried spaghetti in salted boiling water for 9 minutes.

Chop leftover bread into small pieces for topping.

Mix roasted garlic with the bread to soak up the garlic oil, then toast in a pan for 5 minutes until golden and crispy.

Cut the root off the roasted garlic and squeeze it into a pan.

Add about 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 50 g of butter to the pan with the garlic.

Add a little black pepper and 1 tablespoon of capers to the pan.

Add a bit of vinegar from the capers and break up the garlic with the back of a spoon.

Reserve some pasta water, about 50 ml, and add it to the pan to create an emulsion.

Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the pan with the garlic sauce for the last minute of cooking.

Toss the pasta in the sauce, adding parmesan cheese to taste.

Top the pasta with the toasted breadcrumbs and additional parmesan if desired.
