Cooking Something New

Thanks for the guest post by Eugene Fulton

I have a cabinet full of spices, pastas and everything else in between. Sometimes going through a recipe book is just plain boring and I wanted to find something different that wasn't in the cookbooks. I like the cooking channels on satellite tv from expertsatellite.com because they offer great recipes that are made right before my eyes. I can actually see what it is that I'm supposed to be doing.

Bingo, I found the recipe for me. It was great timing because I had a ton of pasta in my pantry and didn't want to make the same old, same old. Having another tomato sauce recipe to make seemed rather blaze to me but garlic flavored breadcrumbs sprinkled over a buttered pasta seemed easy and delicious. I had the bread to make breadcrumbs, I had both fresh and powdered garlic in my cupboard, and a wealth of pasta to chose from.

So, I took a few pieces of bread and put it into a food processor or blender to shred the bread. After, you can put them out on a plate to dry a bit if you'd like, but it is very easy to skip that process. Toast in a pan with butter and some olive oil, then add garlic. Toast until it become infused with the seasoning. Cook your pasta, drain, add butter and breadcrumbs. Viola!
