Pasta With Garlic Oil and Toasted Bread Crumbs image

This recipe was in a 2000 Chef's Illustrated magazine. It's different than most pasta recipes with garlic oil, and so yummy! It takes a little longer to prepare, but it's worth it. Don't be afraid to toast the crumbs until dark brown. The crunchier the better!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb linguine or 1 lb spaghetti
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus
1 teaspoon salt, for sauce (for pasta)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 ounce parmesan cheese, grated (about 2 tablespoons)

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry vermouth

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position, place large oven-safe serving bowl on rack, and heat oven to 200 degrees. Prepare pasta according to directions on package, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water before draining.
