Chilli Garlic Pasta with Curried Bread Crumbs, gluten-free

Serves 2-3

INGREDIENTS

Pasta:

350g gluten-free spaghetti

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or minced

1/2 red onion, diced

1-2 teaspoons chilli flakes

1 lemon, juiced

Salt

For the curried breadcrumbs:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup gluten-free bread crumbs

1 teaspoon yellow curry powder

1/2 tsp ground coriander

salt and pepper

Garnish:

Fresh coriander or Parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook the Pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then add the gluten-free spaghetti. Cook according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
Prepare Curried Bread Crumbs: While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the curry powder and let it sizzle for a few seconds. Stir in the gluten-free bread crumbs, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Sauté on low heat until the bread crumbs are crisp and golden brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté until soft and slightly golden around the edges. Add the diced red onion and continue to sauté until it's tender and translucent. Stir in the chili flakes and season with salt to taste.
Combine Pasta and Sauce: Return the drained pasta to the pan with the garlic and onion mixture. Pour in the reserved pasta water and squeeze in the lemon juice. Stir well to combine, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve: Divide the pasta between serving bowls. Generously sprinkle each serving with the curried bread crumbs. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
