Recipe 📖
In fact, stale bread shows up in many classic Italian soups, pasta, appetizers like Bruschetta, and even desserts. We Indians, use leftover bread to make Bread Upma! This pasta recipe with breadcrumbs can be made as healthy or indulgent as possible. Adding the kind of veggies, pasta, and amount of cheese depends upon you. I feel, this dish just takes the pasta + bread combo to a whole new level! Crisp, savory breadcrumbs are the star of this dish. The simple ingredients used here are deceptively flavorful. Breadcrumbs - I have used store-bought Italian breadcrumbs here. You can also make breadcrumbs at home using stale bread. Veggies - Mushrooms and edamame. But you can add or skip any veggies of your choice. Garlic - Since the predominant flavor is garlic, we need lots of it preferably fresh. Fresh herbs - Fresh parsley works with the flavors well. Can use cilantro instead if required. Dried Italian seasonings and red pepper flakes are the other basic ingredients needed. Cheese - Vegan or regular Parmesan cheese. Adding cheese is optional. 2. Add the bread crumbs to it once the garlic is slightly burnt. Toss it for 5 minutes. The crumbs will turn crispy. 3. Take it off the flame and add parsley, grated vegan Parmesan cheese, and pepper. 4. Mix and keep it aside for now. You can also make this in advance and store it in the fridge.
- In the same pan, add olive oil, mushrooms, and edamame. Saute till all the water from the mushrooms is evaporated. This could take a couple of minutes.
- Add salt, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasonings. Saute for another 2 minutes.
- Next add the cooked pasta and mix lightly. Lastly, add the bread crumbs mixture, toss them all together, and cook for another minute. Breadcrumbs Pasta comes together very quickly on weeknights, date nights, or even brunches. It’s also perfect for days you are feeling too lazy or bored to cook!
