This is a surprisingly good combination of pasta and bread crumbs. I had never heard of that until I tried Noo's Spaghetti Alla Carrettiera (Thin Spaghetti With Breadcrumbs). I came up with a version of my own that I think is quite tasty too! :) This is quick and easy as well, so it's a great last minute meal. Enjoy! Ingredients:
8 ounces spaghetti |
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (or finely chop 1/4 baguette in food processor) |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
salt and pepper |
1/2 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. In large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain pasta and return to pot. 2. Meanwhile in a frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry crumbs and garlic until garlic is golden (not brown!), about 4 minutes. Stir in fresh parsley and lemon juice. 3. Add breadcrumb mixture to drained pasta along with reserved cooking liquid; heat through. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. |
