I absolutely love this recipe and am so glad to have found it. I always add some chopped broccoli with the spaghetti for the last couple minutes. Sometimes I mix up the butter/oil and bread crumbs in a bowl and then just add the goo to the cooked spaghetti. Just as good and just as easy. I always use fresh garlic, too. This goes well with grilled or roasted shrimp, or baked chicken, or steak, or.....? It really is a great all-purpose side, and I have to rate it 5 stars given how many times I've made it!
