Pasta Ida Lucia Pezzino

Pasta Ida Lucia Pezzino


1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Place the tomatoes on a lightly oiled baking sheet; divide the garlic and basil among the tomatoes.

3. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in each; sprinkle with the salt.

4. Cook until tomatoes soften and begin to shrivel but still hold their shape, about 30 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat; add the capellini. Cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes; drain.

6. While pasta is cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a large, heavy skillet; stir in the bread crumbs.

7. Cook, stirring, until crumbs brown and become crispy, about 4 minutes.

8. Toss the pasta with the bread crumbs; divide evenly among 4 pasta bowls.

9. Nestle a tomato carefully in each bowl.

10. Top with cheese.

11. Serve, allowing diners to break up their own tomato and eat with the pasta.
