A delicious pasta if you like some spice and green onions. Quick and easy as well from F/W 07. Ingredients:
1 cup extra virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 bunches scallions, thinly sliced (3 1/2 cups) |
5 large garlic cloves, minced |
1 1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes |
1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
1 lb capellini |
1/2 cup toasted breadcrumb |
freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, for serving |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil. Add the scallions and cook over moderately low heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, crushed red pepper, orange zest and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes longer. Stir in another 1/2 cup of the olive oil and transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a few tablespoons of the cooking water. Add the pasta and the reserved cooking water to the bowl and toss well. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In a small bowl, toss the bread crumbs with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the pasta and serve immediately, passing the cheese at the table.
