You can use whatever kind of bread you have around - tear it into large pieces and whirl it in your food processor until it has turned into small crumbs.

What kind of white wine should I use with this recipe?

Any kind of white wine will do...I usually use a chardonnay because that is what we usually have around! 🥂

What is the best way to add protein to this dish?

If you want to add some protein, adding in some cooked seafood (shrimp, flaked salmon) or cooked shredded chicken is wonderful.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 and line a cookie sheet with foil.
Mix bread crumbs, melted butter and 2 tablespoons wine with salt in small bowl and spread in one layer on cookie sheet. (Don’t worry if it’s mushy).
Bake about 10 minutes or until golden.
Meanwhile, cook pasta until al dente.
Meanwhile again, heat butter, garlic and a pinch of salt in small skillet for about 3 minutes until butter is melted and garlic is starting to turn golden. Stir in wine and simmer two minutes.
Toss together pasta, wine sauce, crumbs, parsley and cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

- Pasta: Any long pasta will work for this recipe, but we like spaghetti and linguine the best…they are perfect for holding those bread crumbs.

- Bread Crumbs: Make your own fresh ones by whirling whatever kind of bread you have on hand in your food processor. (I’ve even used a hot dog roll with great success!)

- Herbs: We like both parsley and/or basil for this recipe, but oregano and thyme would also be delicious.
