Orecchiette With Toasted Bread Crumbs image

This is a recipe for pasta (any kind you like) angel hair or other small shaped pasta. It is served with already prepared & seasoned bread crumbs. Very simple & satisfying dish. Hope you like it. This recipe has been tweaked but I found it on the Foodnetwork Channel with Giada de Laurentis.

  • Drain pasta in colander. Working quickly; add pasta to saute pan & stir to combine.
  • Add Parmesan & prosciutto & mix thoroughly.
  • Pour into large serving bowl & garnish with chopped parsley.
