01Set three quarts of salted water over high heat in a large covered pot.
02While the water is heating, place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Saute the garlic for a minute or two, until soft but not brown, then add the breadcrumbs. Stir.
03Increase the heat to high, add the cream and cook it for a minute or two, until it begins to thicken. Stir in the basil and remove the pan from heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in the cheese.
04When the water is boiling add the spaghetti and cook, uncovered, until al dente, about seven minutes. Drain thoroughly and season with salt and pepper if desired.
