Perciatelli With Zucchini And Breadcrumbs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray an 8-inch or 9-inch round pie dish with pan spray.
• Slice the zucchini into 1/8- to 1/4-inch slices. Arrange slices in a shingle fashion from the outside edge of the dish to the center.
• Mix together the salt, spices, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Stir in the oil to coat all the breadcrumbs.
• Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the zucchini. Make sure you get all the nooks and crannies of the zucchini slices.
• Place in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the zucchini is cooked through.

Steps:

• Heat broiler. Brush a rimmed sheet pan with olive oil, then lay the zucchini out in an even layer. Brush zucchini with more oil and sprinkle generously with salt.
• Broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and broil until golden in spots, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss together bread crumbs, Parmesan, anchovies, garlic, herbes de Provence or oregano, red-pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 2 tablespoons oil and use your fingers to rub oil, garlic and anchovies into the crumbs.
• When zucchini is browned on both sides, turn off broiler and set oven to 500 degrees. Sprinkle zucchini with mozzarella, then bread crumb mixture; generously drizzle with oil. Bake until cheese melts and bread crumbs turn golden, about 4 minutes.
• Grind black pepper over top and drizzle with more oil, if needed. Top zucchini with olives, basil and additional red-pepper flakes, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini with the oil. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, bread crumbs, salt, and a few turns of pepper. Dip each round into the Parmesan mixture, coating it evenly on both sides, pressing the coating on to stick, and place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the zucchini rounds until browned and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove with spatula. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and half of garlic; sauté until crumbs are golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl.
• Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 5 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and remaining garlic to skillet; sauté until shrimp are just opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup parsley, capers, and lemon peel. Add cooked pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking water. Mix in 1 cup garlic breadcrumbs, adding more pasta cooking water if dry. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with remaining garlic breadcrumbs and parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix mustard and Italian dressing together in a bowl. Place bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Dip zucchini slices in the mustard mixture; coat with bread crumbs. Arrange coated zucchini in a casserole dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until soft, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook according to the package directions.
• Add bread to a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Remove, and set aside. In a large heatproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in breadcrumbs, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer skillet to oven, and bake until golden brown.
• In another large skillet, heat remaining 1/3 cup oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, and butter. Cook until just beginning to turn golden brown.
• Drain pasta, and transfer to a large shallow bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan; toss to combine. Using a slotted spoon, transfer zucchini to pasta, adding as much of the oil as desired. Top with toasted breadcrumbs, and serve immediately.
