Method

  1. Heat 2 tsp oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat and fry the breadcrumbs for 3-4 mins, stirring often, until just turning golden brown. Add half the garlic and a pinch of thyme, then cook for another 1 min until toasted and fragrant. Tip into a bowl and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining 2 tsp oil to the pan and cook the onion over a medium heat for 5-6 mins until softened and slightly browning. Add the remaining garlic and ½ tsp thyme, cook for 1 min, then add the pinch of thyme, the tomatoes and vinegar; season. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  3. Break the spaghetti in half and add to the pan with 500ml boiling water. Cook over a medium heat for 10-12 mins until the pasta is al dente, adding a splash more water if it starts to stick. Divide between 2 bowls and scatter over the garlicky breadcrumbs to serve.
