Pasta with capers, garlic, and bread crumbs

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¾ pounds Gigli di semola or short spiral pasta; (I used farfalle)
1 6-inch piece stale baguette
6 tablespoons Drained capers
4 Garlic cloves
½ cup Extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup Chopped fresh parsley
Freshly grated parmesan

Directions

Over the weekend I made two excellent recipes! The pasta recipe is from Gourmet magazine, the soup one from Bon Appetit, an advertisment for milk.

Veg listers note, the recipe calls for chicken broth, so substitute as appropriate.

Cook pasta according to package directions. Cut crust from bread and, using large holes of a hand grater, grate enough bread to measure ⅔ cup. Finely chop separately capers and garlic.

While pasta is cooking, in a large heavy skillet cook garlic in oil over moderate heat, stirring, just until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in capers, parsley, and bread crumbs and cook stirring, until bread crumbs and garlic are golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

Drain pasta in colander and transfer to a heated large bowl. Pour sauce over pasta and toss to combine. Serve with parmesan. Serves 4.

NOTE: Mine seemed a little dry so I added about 2 Tbs of the pasta water.
