Can it get any easier?! I lived in Naples, Italy 3 years and loved learning the authentic dishes. I never have made it with the bread crumbs but you may like it so I added that option in.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)
Change to: Servings US Metric Close


Ingredients

* 1 lb pasta
* 1 hot pepper, crushed
* 1/2 cup olive oil
* 4 garlic cloves, minced

1. Saute garlic and pepper in oil until golden brown. Add bread crumbs and blend well. Toss in pasta cooked to al dente and serve.
