Gorgonzola-Walnut Fettuccine With Toasted Breadcrumbs
- 1 slice day-old hearty white bread (such as Pepperidge Farm), torn
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces uncooked fettuccine
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts, toasted
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 250u0b0.
- Place bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs measure 2/3 cup. Place breadcrumbs on a baking sheet. Bake at 250u0b0 for 30 minutes or until dry.
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic, and cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Remove garlic mixture from heat, and let stand 5 minutes. Return pan to heat. Stir in breadcrumbs; cook 6 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring mixture frequently.
- Cook the fettuccine according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain. Place fettuccine in a large bowl. Add the breadcrumb mixture, parsley, Gorgonzola, walnuts, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper; toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
