Ingredients

  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2/3 cup seasoned dried bread crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
  • 3/4 cup pitted and roughly chopped black olives (recommended: kalamata)
  • 3/4 cup pitted and roughly chopped large green olives (recommended: Bella Di Cerignola)
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bread crumbs and 1/4 teaspoon each of the sea salt and pepper. Stirring constantly, cook the breadcrumbs until golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Stir the pasta into the bread crumb mixture. Remove the pan from the heat and add the black and green olives. Add the Parmesan cheese and 3 tablespoons of the parsley. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen the pasta. Transfer to a large serving bowl and garnish with the remaining parsley.

    I made this last night for dinner and it was good although very salty from the olives. I cooked a half pound of spaghetti and cut the oil back to 1/4 cup and added about 3 tablespoons of butter.

    This recipe was good, but it needs some changes. I used panko bread crumbs and much less olive oil. Olive oil should be 1/4 cup. You could go up to 2/3 but that's definately stretching it. You need the crumbs to brown, not soak in oil. Maybe there was a misprint in the recipe?
    Anyway, when I made it this way, it was great.

    I only used 1/2 cup of olive oil and the dish came out to be so greasy! Easy to make, but the result is very disappointing.
