1 ½cupsfresh breadcrumbs, about 3 pieces of bread

Instructions
To make breadcrumbs, place 3-4 pieces of stale bread on a baking sheet and bake for 300˚F until bread is crispy, maybe 7-8 minutes. Then let bread dry and crumble into crumbs. You can use storebought breadcrumbs, but fresh is best for this dish.
Cook spaghetti in salted water until it’s al dente, 8-10 minutes.
In a small skillet, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a small skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs, chili crisp, garlic, and parsley. Stir together and cook, stirring occasionally, until breadcrumbs are fragrant and crispy. Remove from heat.
When spaghetti is done, melt butter in a large skillet. Remove spaghetti from the pot with tongs and add to skillet with melted butter. Toss together with half of the crispy breadcrumbs over low heat.
Serve spaghetti immediately with extra crispy breadcrumbs and fresh parmesan on top of the spaghetti.
