This is a recipe for pasta (any kind you like) angel hair or other small shaped pasta. It is served with already prepared & seasoned bread crumbs. Very simple & satisfying dish. Hope you like it. This recipe has been tweaked but I found it on the Foodnetwork Channel with Giada de Laurentis. Ingredients:
1 lb dried orecchiette or 1 lb angel hair pasta |
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil or 3/4 cup butter |
2/3 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs |
1 cup chopped prosciutto |
sea salt |
fresh ground pepper |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves |
Directions:
1. In a large pot, bring to a boil 6 qts of salted water. Cook pasta until al dente; about 8 minutes.
2. Meanwhile in med-sized saute pan heat oil until warm. Since the bread crumbs will cook quickly, you don't want to add them into a hot pan.
3. Add the breadcrumbs & stir constantly you may want to season lightly with salt & pepper, since flavored bread crumbs already have seasoning.
4. Saute for about 2 minutes; remove from heat and set aside.
5. Drain pasta in colander. Working quickly; add pasta to saute pan & stir to combine.
6. Add Parmesan & prosciutto & mix thoroughly.
7. Pour into large serving bowl & garnish with chopped parsley.
