A true testament to the simple beauties of Italian cooking, this pasta dish is one of chef Steve Martorano's favorite late-night snacks. It's great by itself and can easily use the addition of meat or vegetables to make it a more rounded out meal.

  • 1 handful italian breadcrumbs, toasted in olive oil
Directions
