My favorite kind of reading…from a cookbook. Giada de Laurentiis came out with a new book, Giada at Home and I tried out the Pasta Ponza. It’s light and refreshing with tomato as the main ingredient, but also comforting and satisfying with the addition of the bread crumb topping, reminiscent of a cold weather casserole recipe.
The bread crumb topping and Parmesan seeps into the corkscrew ridges, making every bite flavorful.
Tomatoes halved. I added some finely chopped garlic and shallots for extra flavor.
All coated and ready for the oven.
Looks pretty close to the book
Overall a fantastic recipe. I love that there is so much flavor from so few ingredients.
Its so healthy too. Just a couple tablespoons of olive oil to bind everything.
