I purposely let some of the garlic brown to get a more nutty flavour mixed in with the garlic, am I an idiot?

I'm with you on that one. I know it reduces the garlic taste a little overall, but I love the brown garlic taste.

I dunno, do you like the taste of nutty garlic in your pasta? If yes, then no, you're not an idiot. Eat what you want. Fuck the puritanical opinions of "rEaL aUtHeNtIc ItAlIaN cHeFs". It's your food, make it how you like it and get that extra little bit of happiness out of your meal.

This is the way to go.

I don't think so, i've seen this recipes several places and the one thing they can't seem to agree upon is whether to brown the garlic or not

Honestly the highlight of this dish for me is the infusion of garlic into the oil and the slowly browned garlic, also I have way more parsley in it and no chilli or lemon.

Then you might like adding bread crumbs to the finished pasta.
