Spaghetti with Grana Padano, toasted breadcrumbs and gremolata

The “less is more” adage truly applies to this weeknight pasta recipe, the ingredient list of which counts little more than pantry and fridge staples. Still, this is no boring bowl of spaghetti: flavours are fresh and bold – lemon, parsley and garlic all work together to uplift the savoury cheese base – while textures swing from the creaminess of the melted cheese to the crispness of fried and toasted breadcrumbs. To fancy things up a little, you can add some fresh ricotta to the cheese base or some almond slivers to the toppings... Make this recipe a solid starting point.
