  1. Sauté the minced garlic in olive oil over low heat until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  2. Add the panko breadcrumbs and salt; toast until golden brown.

  3. Stir in the juice of ½ lemon. Stir and continue to toast over low heat for about 2-3 more minutes until crispy.

  4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

  5. While the water is boiling, add the cherry tomatoes, olive oil and salt to a sauté pan over medium heat.

  6. When the tomatoes begin to soften, add the sliced garlic and continue to cook until the tomatoes burst.

  7. Once the water comes to a boil, add plenty of salt. Cook the pasta until it's al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.

  9. Toss on medium-high heat until combined.

  10. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmigiano. Add more pasta water as needed, ¼ cup at a time.
