Yield Serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 pound gigli di semola or short spiral pasta
a 6-inch piece stale baguette
6 tablespoons drained capers
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
freshly grated Parmesan if desired

Steps:

  • Fill a 6-quart kettle three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for pasta. Cut crust from bread and, using large holes of a hand grater, grate enough bread to measure 2/3 cup. Finely chop separately capers and garlic.
  • Boil pasta until al dente.
  • While pasta is cooking, in a large heavy skillet cook garlic in oil over moderate heat, stirring, just until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in capers, parsley, and bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until bread crumbs and garlic are golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Drain pasta in a colander and transfer to a heated large bowl. Pour sauce over pasta and toss to combine.
  • Serve pasta with Parmesan.

I'm not a huge fan of capers, but I really enjoyed this dish. The bread crumbs and garlic helped to balance out the briny flavor of the capers.

Easy and delicious! I used whole wheat pasta and it was still very good. The capers give it a nice salty flavor.
