Hi everyone what I’m making for you today is Linguini ala but I have a different take on it I don’t know if anyone else does it but when uh I have the the pasta ready I put a little bit of oranada breadcrumbs on it so I’m soring some garlic

Here and I have a pot of water going for the pasta and I have three cloves of garlic and fresh parsley here for the Ala so what I’m doing here is sautéing the garlic and nothing like to smell of garlic so when the garlic starts to

Sizzle a little bit I’m going to add breadcrumbs now I don’t know if I I I think I’ve seen it somewhere but I’m not sure uh I don’t like to take credit for something that I didn’t do but my son seems to think that I’m the one that

Created this but I don’t think so I’ve seen it somewhere anyway so the garlic is sizzling you see the little sizzles and I wait for it to get a little bit Brown on the edge not a lot just a Teensy weeny bit so it’s starting to sizzle and I have my plain breadcrumbs

Here no seasoned breadcrumbs plain and I have my grated cheese which is a staple in my home we couldn’t live without grated cheese by the way my grandson’s videoing me now and it’s skipped a generation so here we go there it goes you could put some parsley

In here if you want but my grandsons they don’t like to pick out the leaves or my granddaughter there it goes it gets a little it’s a little little brown ah and it’s so fragrant so we put the breadcrumbs in and some grated Parmesan regano ladella

Regano uh I’d say about a half a cup maybe more I don’t usually measure so we put this and we mix it together and I like it to get a little toasty you like it toasty when the water starts to boil which it’s going to boil very shortly I’m going to put in

Some linguini my uh grandchildren like it my daughter-in-law made it for them a couple of weeks ago because my son must have asked her for it or I don’t know why but anyway so now they wanted me to make a video my grandson in particular Nanny why don’t you make a

Video of all o you with the breadcrumbs I said okay so here we are so here’s the breadcrumbs like I said I like it the bottom to get a little bit toasty this is a kind of a lot because I was just going to be for me

And my son but now everybody heard I was making it and they want some so I made a little extra breadcrumbs does don’t go bad all right so I’m putting it here on the side cooling off and now here’s the garlic and parsley I’ll be back in a minute when it’s ready to

Go I’m throwing a a pound and a half plus there’s like five of us and uh this takes 7 minutes I like my pasta alente so 7 minutes for for linguine there are other pastas that might take a little longer and in the meantime I have the oil and the parsley

Here the oil and the parsley and I have my breadcrumbs here all righty and when the p w when the pasta’s done actually you know we used to call it macaroni when we were kids we never called it pasta and it was macaroni pasta sauce everybody fights

About it if you said sauce when we were in East Harlem they look at you like you had three heads it was gravy gravy anybody in East Harlem or Brooklyn would know it was gravy so when the linguine is ready in about 6 minutes 7 minutes I’ll be back to show

You how I put all this together okay so the Linguini is done I’m going to take it out you don’t have to strain it because you’re going to use some of the pasta water from here we’re going to take it all out and we’re going to add some pasta

Water 10 minutes this dinner is 10 minutes I’m looking at the boxes of pasta and I’m remembering my grandmother years ago ronzone used to have coupons on the side of the boxes and my grandmother used to she could hardly see she was so blind she used to get the box

Like this and try to see the coupons and try to cut them out and she was like you know she wasn’t that old but years ago people looked older than they actually were or we’re starting to look younger one or the other okay so here’s the oil and the garlic and the parsley

I put it on the whole thing and I take a ladle of pasta water and here you go all right so I’m going to take some half of my dish some people don’t like the breadcrumbs on it I love the breadcrumbs on it that’s plenty for me and

Beautiful and then I take the bread crumbs sprinkle a little bit on top and there you go I was so what you call that all oranada that’s a pretty name I hope you try it it’s simple easy delicious great Friday night meal especially during Lent lent is coming up here you go
