Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound spaghetti
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup seasoned dried bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
3/4 cup pitted and roughly chopped black olives (recommended: kalamata)
3/4 cup pitted and roughly chopped large green olives (recommended: Bella Di Cerignola)
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bread crumbs and 1/4 teaspoon each of the sea salt and pepper. Stirring constantly, cook the breadcrumbs until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Stir the pasta into the bread crumb mixture. Remove the pan from the heat and add the black and green olives. Add the Parmesan cheese and 3 tablespoons of the parsley. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen the pasta. Transfer to a large serving bowl and garnish with the remaining parsley.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this spaghetti dish did not turn out well. The pasta was mushy and the sauce was tasteless.

This spaghetti was a complete disaster. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I was disappointed with this spaghetti dish. The olives and bread crumbs were not a good combination and the sauce was too bland.

I found this spaghetti dish to be a bit too oily. I think I would have preferred it if it had less olive oil.

This spaghetti was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if it had more garlic or chili flakes.

I'm not a huge fan of olives, but I actually really enjoyed this spaghetti dish. The bread crumbs helped to balance out the salty flavor of the olives.
