  • About

In southern Italy, especially Sicily and Calabria, fine, stale breadcrumbs are often used instead of grated cheese on pasta. This is either because there is simply no cheese available, or a hangover from the days when there was no money for cheese. Sometimes the breadcrumbs are fried for extra texture.

Ingredients

  • 60 ml/4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped

Method

  1. Pour the oil into a large pan and add the garlic. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is transparent, then add the tomatoes and basil. Stir in salt to taste, then cover and simmer the mixture for 20 minutes on a medium heat. Add water if the sauce becomes too thick.
