These Vegan Butter Garlic Noodles with Toasted Breadcrumbs are a simple pasta dish with all kinds of flavor. The breadcrumbs add a crunch that is next level delicious!
Sometimes the best recipes are the ones with the most simple ingredients. And this pasta is one of those recipes.
If you like garlic, you are going to love this pasta. Not only are there chunky pieces of fresh garlic in the pasta, but the breadcrumbs are also sautéed with garlic powder to make this even more garlicky…maybe don’t make this recipe on date night 🙂
Speaking of those breadcrumbs…if you haven’t put breadcrumbs on your pasta before, let me tell you how amazing it is. It is almost like sprinkling garlic bread on top of your pasta. Two birds, one stone, done deal.
This is the perfect weeknight dinner, because it is so quick and simple. Serve this with a big green salad, and call it a night.
Anytime I can pull dinner together in 30 minutes, I am one happy girl.

It was good, this is one of the first meals i’ve cooked so overall i’d say i did a decent job. I added pasta water at the end to hopefully fix the fact that my noodles clumped together. I can say it was good and I wonder how good it tastes from a person who cooks regularly!
Is it fresh bread crumbs used in this dish?
I just used pre-made bread crumbs from the store, but if you have some extra bread laying around, feel free to make your own 🙂

Made it tonight and it tasted like Artusi’s fresh pasta in New York City, It will be my go to now and I love the crunchy breadcrumbs, as did my husband!
Yay! So glad you both liked it – and when are breadcrumbs ever a bad idea? 🙂
I request you that the printable version has to have at least one picture. It would be so easy when we refer it in future.
Thank you for giving such a simple yet delicious recipe.
Great recipe!! It was really tasty. I used dried parsley instead because I didn’t have fresh parsley. I also roasted grape tomatoes and stirred it into the batch!
Yum! Grape tomatoes sound like the perfect addition!
We made this for company tonight and it was awesome! Delicious and easy to prepare
Nice! So glad everyone liked it!
Are the bread crumbs and spaghetti noodles a vegan brand?… I thought bread had mild and noodles had eggs…
Nope bread and pasta is usually vegan. You can always check the label, but usually only fresh noodles have eggs in them!
The perfect “what the heck are we having for dinner” dinner. All items I had on hand. Great with a simple green salad. Hubby was a fan ??
Yes! Love when you have everything on hand!
