LINGUINE WITH GARLIC AND OIL
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Meanwhile, combine the garlic, oil, and a pinch of salt in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the garlic to simmer, shaking the pan occasionally, until it turns golden; do not allow it to turn dark brown.
- When the water boils, cook the pasta until it is tender but firm. When it is done, drain it, reserving a bit of the cooking water. Reheat the garlic and oil mixture briefly if necessary. Dress the pasta with the sauce and parsley, if using, adding a little more oil or some of the cooking water if it seems dry.
- Variations
- If you have a moderately well-stocked pantry-for example, if you have some olives, capers, chickpeas, dried chiles, canned tomatoes, and so on-you can make any of these delicious variations in less than a half hour.
- Add a couple of dried chiles to the oil along with the garlic. Discard before tossing with the pasta. Alternatively, sprinkle the pasta with hot red pepper flakes or pass some at the table.
- Add 1 cup cooked, drained chickpeas to the garlic-oil mixture about a minute before tossing with the pasta.
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons capers to the garlic-oil mixture about a minute before tossing with the pasta.
- Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup minced pitted black olives (preferably imported) to the garlic-oil mixture about a minute before tossing with the pasta.
- Add a mixture of about 1 cup fresh herbs to the pasta when tossing it with the garlic-oil mixture. You probably will need more olive oil or some of the pasta-cooking water.
LINGUINE WITH GREEN OLIVE SAUCE AND ZESTY BREADCRUMBS
Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium and cook panko, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to paper towels to drain and toss with dill and lemon zest.
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid.
- Meanwhile, mash anchovies and garlic to a paste on a cutting board with the side of a chef's knife. Combine with parsley, basil, and half of olives and capers in a large bowl. Chop remaining olives and capers and add to bowl, along with remaining 1/2 cup oil. Mix well; season sauce with salt and pepper.
- Add pasta and 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid to sauce. Toss, adding Parmesan a bit at a time, along with more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce coats pasta. Add lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
- Serve pasta topped with panko and more Parmesan.
- Do Ahead
- Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against surface, and chill.
WHITE PASTA WITH GARLIC PARMIGIANO BREADCRUMBS
For a quick dinner, I took an idea from my childhood and put my own spin on it: pasta of your choice (I use linguine) with ricotta and milk, plus a topping of bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, butter, and Parmigiano.

Steps:
- 1. In a skillet, melt butter with a splash of olive oil, then add the garlic and cook until it just starts to brown. Add the bread crumbs and continue to cook until the crumbs are lightly browned. Take off the heat and pour the mixture into a bowl. Add the Parmigiano, parsley, and lemon zest, stir to combine, and set aside.
- 2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. When there is a rolling boil, add a lot of salt --taste the water; it should taste salty. Put the pasta in and stir to separate. While the pasta is cooking, heat your milk until it's hot to the touch (I microwaved it for 45 seconds). Put the ricotta and Parmigiano in your serving bowl and add the hot milk, mix it up, and season to taste. When the pasta is al dente, drain and add the hot pasta to the bowl with the ricotta-milk mixture. Toss to combine and top with the bread crumbs. Garnish with a little more grated Parmigiano and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially true for the garlic and the herbs.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the breadcrumbs, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause them to steam instead of fry, and they won't be as crispy.
- Toast the breadcrumbs until they're golden brown: This will give them a nice nutty flavor.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality oil.
- Season the dish to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
Conclusion:
Linguine with garlic and breadcrumbs is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your pasta with a lot of garlic or just a little, with or without cheese, this dish is sure to please.
