Fusilli With Toasted Garlic Breadcrumbs image

This is a Tuscan peasant dish. I used the longer version of Fusilli pasta for this, but I believe spaghetti would work just fine. Adapted from Williams-Sonoma, Kitchen Library, Pasta series.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the crispy breadcrumbs, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of garlic, but I still enjoyed this dish. The breadcrumbs are the perfect way to add a little bit of garlic flavor without it being overpowering.

I'm not a fan of fusilli, so I used penne instead. The dish still turned out great!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a few slices of stale bread in my freezer, and this is a great way to use them up.

I made this for dinner last night and my family loved it! The fusilli is a great choice for this dish because it holds the sauce well. I also added some chopped parsley to the breadcrumbs for a bit of extra flavor.
