a satisfying, quicky dinner

this is my FAVORITE go-to dish when i'm hungry and don't have much time - perfect for weekday nights. source: the minimalist

Put a few slices of chopped prosciutto in a skillet with olive oil, a couple of cloves of crushed garlic and a bit of butter; a minute later, toss in about half a cup bread crumbs and red chili flakes to taste. Serve over pasta with chopped parsley.


i try to keep a pack of trader joe's prosciutto in the fridge at all times for this recipe.

the prosciutto crisping up with the garlic, oil, and butter. this part drives me crazy! smells wonderful.

i throw some old bread (the end slices!) in the food processor to make the bread crumbs. trader joe's garlic and basil linguine is my pasta of choice (i used the lemon pappardelle here, though).

the fresh parsley is a great contrast to the salty prosciutto. hearty, satisfying - voila. delicious in ten minutes.
