Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet and stir. Allow the sauce to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and chopped basil leaves, reserving a small amount of each for garnish. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
In a small separate pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Add the cooked spaghetti noodles to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Serve the Noodles Parmano on plates or in bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of the toasted breadcrumbs, more grated parmesan, and chopped basil if desired.
