I present to you a humble first course from the Lucanian culinary tradition: simple but delicious!
Ingredients for 4 people- 300 g of Armando rings
- 240 g of fresh breadcrumbs
- 25 g of fried crusco pepper
- 1 clove of garlic
- Extra virgin olive oil to taste
Remove the breadcrumbs from the bread and crumble them with your hands. In a pan, heat about 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over high heat along with an unpeeled garlic clove. When the garlic begins to brown, add the breadcrumbs and cook until crispy. After a few minutes, remove the garlic.
At this point, cut the cruschi peppers into small pieces and place the browned breadcrumbs in a bowl.
Cook the Armando rings in plenty of lightly salted boiling water. Once cooked, transfer them directly to the pan, remembering to reserve a ladle of the cooking water.
Turn off the heat and toss the pasta vigorously. Add a ladle of the cooking water, the breadcrumbs, and the cruschi peppers.
If you like, you can also add some grated cacioricotta flakes.
Enjoy your meal!
