Fusilli With Toasted Garlic Breadcrumbs Recipes

Steps:

• Add the butter and oil to a pan over medium heat. When the butter melts, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the panko and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve over pasta.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crunchy, 5 to 7 minutes. Set the toasted breadcrumbs aside in a small bowl.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the peas and chicken stock to the skillet and simmer until the stock is hot, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the carrots and continue to simmer until the carrots are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the cream and season with salt and pepper. (This is a good time to boil your pasta.) Simmer until the reduces by one-fourth, about 5 minutes. Set the sauce aside; cover and keep warm while you cook the pasta.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain and toss with the sauce, about half of the breadcrumbs and all of the mint.
• Divide the pasta into bowls and top with a sprinkle of the remaining breadcrumbs and some Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted and dry, 10 to 12 minutes. While the bread toasts, place the olive oil and garlic in a sauté pan and set over low heat. Cook gently, allowing the garlic to infuse the oil.
• When the bread slices are toasted, place in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the crumbs to the garlic oil and stir gently until coated. Season to taste with salt and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the oil is absorbed. Remove the garlic cloves. The crumbs will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking water.
• Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and saute just until turning color.
• Add the breadcrumbs, salt and pepper to taste, and toast to light golden.
• Drain the pasta and place in a hot bowl.
• Pour all but 1 cup of the crumbs on the pasta along with the water and toss.
• Divide between 4 hot plates and sprinkle reserved crumbs over each serving.
• Garnish with parsley if desired.
• Serve immediately.
