Turn down the heat a bit and add the cream, red pepper flakes and paprika, stir well until combined, season with salt & pepper, remove from heat and set aside
Melt butter in a small pot and add the panko crumbs - cook stirring often until golden brown, add the parsley, mix and set aside for garnish
Bring a large pot of salted water, to a boil, and add the pasta - stir well so it doesn’t stick
Cook about a minute less than package directions, or until al dente
Drain the pasta, but hang on to one cup of the pasta water and put the sauce back onto the heat and add the pasta and 1/2 cup of the Parm
Cook, stirring well to combine, and adding 1/4 of the reserved water at a time to get the pasta to your desired creaminess
Serve with more Parmesan and topped with some of the crispy Panko
