Instructions
- Cook pasta according to packet directions, drain & reserve 2-3 tbsp. pasta cooking water - set aside.
- Meanwhile melt the butter in a medium microwave safe bowl.
- Add the garlic and mix to infuse.
- Add bread cubes to butter mixture, and coat well - I use a silicone pastry brush for this - then aside.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat, add bread cubes (reserving the garlic) and fry for 4 mins turning often, until crisp - remove to a plate.
- Add prosciutto to pan and fry for 2 mins until it starts to brown and crisp, then remove to plate lined with paper towel to drain then chop roughly.
- Add olive oil and tomatoes to pan and fry for 4 mins until slightly charred and collapsed.
- Crush reserved garlic into pan, adding basil, prosciutto and vinegar - cook for 1 min then turn heat down to low.
- Add drained pasta, 2-3 tbsp. pasta cooking water and lemon juice - mix for 1-2 mins to reheat and combine.
- Serve immediately topped with crunchy garlic croutons and grated parmesan.
Notes
- I have set out the steps for this recipe in a specific order to maximise the flavour of the garlic in the croutons, but also making the time as short as possible - if you have more time you could do the prep in any order you like but the croutons will benefit from some time to soak up all that garlic butter goodness!
- I have used Angel Hair pasta for efficiency (it only takes 2 mins to cook!!! yay!!!) but you could use any pasta you like.
