Method

 
Angel hair pasta with fried chilli flakes, lemon and rocket

1) In a dry skillet over low heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil and the panko bread crumbs and toast until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put into a bowl and set aside.

2) Set the skillet pan back over medium heat and add the remaining 8 tbsp of olive oil, the garlic and the red pepper flakes. Saute for 2 to 3 mins to infuse the oil and cook the garlic. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the lemon zest and remove from the heat.

3) In a large pot of well-salted boiling water, over medium heat, add the angel hair pasta and cook for 3 to 4 mins. Drain and add to a large mixing bowl.

4) While still warm, toss in the rocket, the infused oil, the bread crumbs and the cheese. Using tongs gently fold everything together and transfer to a large serving bowl or platter to serve. If desired, serve with braised braciole.
