Pasta With Crunchy Crumbs and Feta for One

Ingredients

• 3 ounces tagliatelle pasta noodles or spaghetti
• 1 ounce butter
• 6 tablespoons white breadcrumbs (day old or from the freezer)
• 1/2 lemon
• 2 ounces feta cheese, cubed
• chopped parsley, a good handful
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• olive oil, for drizzling

Directions

1. 1

   Pour boiling water into a large pan, add some salt and the pasta and cook according to the pack instructions.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, heat the butter in a small saucepan and when sizzling add the breadcrumbs and cook for about 5 mins, stirring occasionally until crisp and golden. Use a zester (or grater) to grate the lemon zest into the crumbs. Cut the lemon half into two wedges and set aside.

3. 3

   Drain the pasta, put it back in the pan, toss in the crumb mixture, add the feta cheese chunks, parsley and seasoning.

   Serve in a large warm bowl drizzled with olive oil and with the lemon wedges on the side. Squeeze lemon juice over as you eat the pasta to bring out the flavour.
