Boil salted water for the spaghetti.

Add spaghetti to the boiling water and cook until al dente, leaving it a little extra al dente as it will continue to cook later.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté it low and slow until it toasts nicely.

Add chopped parsley to the skillet and let it toast a little bit in the oil.

Once the spaghetti is cooked, transfer it directly from the pot into the skillet with the garlic and parsley.

Add reserved pasta water to the skillet to create a sauce, mixing it well with the pasta.

Season the pasta with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Plate the pasta and top it with panko bread crumbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
