Ingredients

  • 175 grams Antimo Caputo Semolina flour
  • 175 grams Antimo Caputo Italian 00 flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 175 ml water
  • 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 200 grams breadcrumbs homemade or store-bought
  • Garlic olive oil
  • 1 large or 2 medium cloves of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Hot sliced peppers
  • Sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina flour, Italian 00 flour, and salt. If possible, transfer the mixture onto a wooden surface to retain warmth, as pasta dough thrives in a slightly warm environment. Shape the flour into a mound and create a well in the center.
  • Gradually pour in the water and olive oil, then slowly incorporate the flour into the liquid using a fork or your fingertips. Continue mixing until a rough dough forms. Knead the dough by hand, adding small amounts of flour if it's too sticky or a few drops of water if it's too dry. Work the dough until it becomes soft and pliable with a smooth texture. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for about an hour to rest.
  • Once chilled, place the dough on a floured surface and roll it out evenly until it reaches a thinness of about 1 to 1.5 inches. Carefully roll up the flattened sheet and slice it into thin strips using a sharp knife. Unfurl the strips, dust them lightly with flour to prevent sticking, and set them aside—your fettuccine is now ready for cooking.
  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Drop in the pasta and cook for about four minutes or until it reaches the perfect al dente texture.
  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the pangrattato. Heat 4 to 5 tablespoons of garlic-infused olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Finely chop the garlic and add it to the oil, allowing its aroma to bloom. Stir in the breadcrumbs and dried thyme, mixing thoroughly to coat them in the fragrant oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then sauté the mixture, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs develop a rich golden-brown hue and become irresistibly crisp.
  • Once the pasta is drained, roughly chop a handful of sun-dried tomatoes and hot sliced peppers. Toss them together with the fettuccine, ensuring the flavors meld beautifully. Serve with a generous sprinkling of the crispy pangrattato and a few fresh basil leaves for a fragrant finish.
  • Enjoy this quick and satisfying fettuccine dish, perfect for a flavorful midweek dinner!
