I’m always in search of fresh, handmade pappardelle, so when I found it at Bi-Rite Market, I was excited to get to work on a new recipe. With leeks on hand, I searched around and found this recipe.
I enjoyed the process of cleaning and prepping the leeks – they’re such a gorgeous color. And the rosemary smelled delightful.
But things took a turn for the worse when I (ignored the recipe) and dumped the entire breadcrumb mixture into the finished pasta. Those thick, buttery ribbons got lost in the sandy coating.
Lesson learned: treat breadcrumbs like salt, unless you’re making Mac & cheese or gratin.
It’s so refreshing to get a behind the scenes veiw! Dinner doesn’t always turn out right 🙂 Nice blog!
Thanks! I’ve had some royal disasters in the kitchen, that’s for sure.
