 Orecchiette With Toasted Breadcrumbs | Status Approved | | Name |  Orecchiette With Toasted Breadcrumbs | | Category | Pasta, Quick meals | | Serves/Yields | 4 servings | | Source | Food TV | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 10 minutes | | Cook Time | 15 minutes | | Introduction | | When I miss Guido and Italy, I make pasta. This is a great comfort food pasta dish and kids really love it. | | Ingredients | |
1 pound dried orecchiette or other small shaped pasta
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup Italian seasoned dried bread crumbs
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup finely chopped prosciutto
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
| | Directions | | Step: 1 | In a large pot, bring to a boil 6 quarts of salted water. Cook pasta until al dente, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized saute pan, heat the oil until warm. Since the bread crumbs will cook quickly, you don't want to add them into a hot pan, otherwise they can burn. Add the breadcrumbs and stir constantly. Season lightly with salt and pepper since flavored bread crumbs may already have seasoning. Saute for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain pasta in a colander. Working quickly, add pasta to the saute pan and stir to combine. Add Parmesan and the chopped prosciutto. Mix thoroughly. Pour into large serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley.
