I thought I'd share my menu and shopping list, since I like reading LuckyRobin's. This week we have more eating out scheduled than usual. We've been buying more fruit than usual because it's fresher and cheaper during the summer. Also, during the summer we hardly have to buy any vegetables because we get most of them from our CSA.

Ingredients:
1 lb. spaghetti
salt & pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 t red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup mixed freshly grated Parmesan & pecorino Romano (optional; I make my portion w/out cheese)
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs crisped in 1 T olive oil
Cook spaghetti; meanwhile, warm oil w/garlic & red pepper flakes in a wide skillet over medium heat
As soon as the garlic starts to color, remove pan from heat.
Drain spaghetti, shaking off excess water, and put in warmed bowl. Pour oil mixture over top and toss with the parsley & cheese.
Season w/salt & pepper, and scatter the breadcrumbs over the top.
