| 1. Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil to cook the spaghetti. | 2. Once at a boil, add some salt and the spaghetti, and cook to al dente, according to package directions. | 3. Drain thoroughly. | 4. While the water is coming up to a boil for the pasta, make the parsley pesto: Place the garlic and parsley leaves in the bowl of a food processor. Add some salt and pepper, and pulse until roughly chopped. | 5. With the machine running, pour in 1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil (just enough to make a thick, smooth paste). | 6. Turn the machine off and reserve. | 7. Place a large skillet over medium heat with 3 T of olive oil. | 8. Add the pine nuts and toast, stirring every now and then, until very lightly toasted. | 9. Add the breadcrumbs, stir to combine and toast until the breadcrumbs are golden and the pine nuts are a dark golden color, 2-3 minutes. | 10. Add the pesto to the skillet with the breadcrumbs and cook 2-3 minutes (just enough to cook out the raw garlic taste). | 11. Add the lemon zest and juice and season with some pepper. | 12. Add the drained spaghetti and Pecorino cheese to the skillet and toss to combine. | 13. To serve, transfer to serving bowls and sprinkle with the chopped tomatoes. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
