  1. I really liked this. The simple yet rich taste of olive oil and garlic are two of my favorites. The breadcrumbs added a nice texture to the dish. I keep thinking about this recipe. Maybe I'm wierd. This recipe is different from the ordinary pasta recipe, but it is just wonderful. I put lots of garlic in it and I added extra olive oil. Next time I make it I will probably cut the bread crumbs down to 3/4 cup. But I just have to reiterate, this dish stays on your mind. Good Job Paula
     
  2. I love garlic but, I found that it dominated the taste a bit too much. I would suggest adding a bit of ginger in place of about half the garlic.
     
  3. We loved this recipe. It was easy, quick, and really tasty. After a long day out, this was done in one pot, almost as quickly as the pasta boiled. (Drained the pasta, made the breadcrumb topping in the same pot.) I used a squash-stuffed mezzaluna pasta and added just a bit of butter to make sure that the breadcrumbs were well saturated. The amount of garlic and red pepper flakes were just right for us. I used homemade breadcrumbs and thought that it was perfect. As you suggested, the dusting of parmesan was terrific. My kids loved it, my husband loved it...Thank you for sharing.
     
  4. Impressive! Had to make more because my kids ate the first batch all up! That's how wonderful it was! Good job Paula!
     
  5. The simplicity of this dish can't be beat. It was a really good dish. I agree that olive oil and garlic can stand alone and be a great base for a sauce. I still would like a bit more of a sauce. Even a small can of tomato paste and some wine would have picked it up I think. But it sure is a good recipe to build on. Glad you posted it.
