Penne With Tomatoes And Parsley Breadcrumbs Recipes

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, 1/4 cup oil, garlic, and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl, and then season with pepper. Let stand at room temperature until tomatoes exude juices, at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss breadcrumbs and parsley with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, stirring halfway through, until parsley is crisp and breadcrumbs are toasted, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente; drain. Stir pasta into tomato mixture, and season with salt and pepper. Top with breadcrumbs, cheese, and a drizzle of oil.

Steps:

• Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the sliced garlic over medium-low heat in a medium saucepan or skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic turns golden, about two minutes. Do not let it take on any more color than this. Remove the garlic slices with a slotted spoon and discard, then add the bread crumbs to the pan. Turn the heat to medium, and cook, stirring, until the bread crumbs are crisp. Remove from the heat, and set aside.
• Return the pan to medium heat, and add the remaining olive oil, the red pepper flakes and the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until the garlic smells fragrant, and add the tomatoes, capers and olives. Bring to a simmer, and simmer until the tomatoes have cooked down and smell fragrant, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the spaghetti. Cook al dente, following the cooking recommendations on the package but checking about a minute before the suggested time. Drain, and toss with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle the bread crumbs and parsley on top, toss again briefly and serve, passing the Parmesan at the table.

Steps:

• Mix first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Set tomato mixture aside.
• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Add hot pasta to tomato mixture and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
