Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of starchy pasta water.

In the final minute of cooking, add in the peas and the spinach. Stir well. Drain and set aside.

In a large bowl, add the eggs. Whisk to combine. Then, add the melted butter, salt, pepper, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and reserved pasta water. Whisk to combine.

In a small skillet, add the olive oil. Once hot, add in the breadcrumbs. Toast and stir for about 3 minutes until golden brown.
