Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 350g spaghetti
  • 7 tbsp olive oil
  • 80 g bread(s), stale, hard
  • 1 clove(s) garlic
  • some salt and pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente, drain, and reserve the pasta water. Crumble the stale bread using a coarse grater. A food processor also works. Peel and mince the garlic. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the breadcrumbs and garlic until almost browned. Add the spaghetti and a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water. Season with a little salt and a good grind of freshly ground pepper and sauté briefly. If the spaghetti is too dry, add a little more of the pasta cooking water to soften everything.
