BROCCOLI AND GARLIC BREADCRUMB SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Remove and discard the crusts from the bread; process the bread until it is fine (actually if the bread is a commercially produced sandwich loaf, I've always found it's fine to include the crusts). Use your culinary discretion.
• Cook the pasta in a larg saucepan of boiling water until it is tender, and drain.
• Meanwhile boil, steam or microwave the broccoli until tender, and drain.
• Heat the oil, butter and lemon juice (if using) in a large (preferably non-stick) pan; add the cumin and make sure that it is mixed through the breadcrumbs; cook the breadcrumbs and garlic until they are browned and slightly crisp.
• Combine the pasta, broccoli and breadcrumbs in a large bowl.
• Serve sprinkled with the shaved parmesan.
