Pasta-The Healthier Way

I really love pasta, but it is not always the healthiest thing to make.  I found this recipe on Cooking Light for Linguine with Garlicky Breadcrumbs.  Some of the comments on it said that it did not have a lot of flavor, so I "tweaked" it a little bit and we really liked it.  I will be adding this to our rotation. 


Linguine with Garlicky Breadcrumbs
1/3 of Italian Breadcrumbs
Olive Oil
6-7 Garlic Cloves (depending on how much you like garlic)
8 ounces linguine
1/4 parsley (I used dried)
1-2 Tbsp Lemon Juice (depending on how much you like, I used a little more)
3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese


I started by cutting up the garlic cloves.  I then added them to some olive oil in the skillet and let it lightly brown.  I then added in the bread crumbs and a little more olive oil and let it brown some more.  Meanwhile I started cooking the linguine.  
Once all that was done I put the linguine in a big bowl added the garlic/breadcrumb mixture, parsley, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, a little more olive oil and mixed it all together. 


Pretty simple and pretty good. :)
