• Remove from the heat and set aside.
• In the same frying pan, add the remaining olive oil and butter and gently heat on medium.
• Add the breadcrumbs and cook until toasted golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently so they do not burn, about 2 - 3 minutes.
• Turn off the stove burner.
• Mix into the toasted breadcrumbs: the sauteed garlic, onion, oregano, chili pepper, salt and pepper mixture.
• Mix in the parmesan cheese.
• When the pasta is finished cooking, toss the pasta into the frying pan with the breadcrumb mixture gently tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
• Add some reserved pasta water OR olive oil if needed to loosen the pasta, adding about 1/4 cup at a time until your preferred consistency is achieved (I used a whole cup of the reserved pasta water and another 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil.
• Transfer to a large pasta platter and garnish with basil leaves and shaved Parmesan cheese.
• Offer basil pesto to guests to add to their pasta if desired.

GARLIC BREADCRUMB TOPPING FOR PASTA

Steps:

• Add the butter and oil to a pan over medium heat. When the butter melts, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the panko and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve over pasta.

PASTA WITH BROWN BUTTER AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta, but don't shake it fully dry.
• In a skillet or Dutch oven large enough to hold the pasta (and preferably with a light-colored bottom so you can see the butter solids brown), melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty and toasty, 3 to 4 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn. If it does, start over.) Remove from heat immediately.
• Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss with the brown butter. Stir in the cheese until melted. Stir in pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the pasta is glossy with sauce (you probably won't need the full 1/2 cup).
• Serve with black pepper and more Parmesan on top.

TAGLIATELLE WITH PORCINI BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Tagliatelle: Mound flour on a clean work surface or in a large bowl. Make a well in center. Add egg, yolks, oil, and warm water to well. Using a fork and stirring outward from center, gradually incorporate flour into egg mixture until a ragged dough forms.
• Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. (Or combine ingredients in a mixer bowl and knead with the dough-hook attachment 8 to 10 minutes.) Tightly cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until soft and pliable, at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Cut dough into 4 portions. Keeping remaining portions covered with plastic, shape one into a rectangle. With a pasta roller on its largest setting (1 on a KitchenAid stand-mixer attachment), run dough through roller. Fold dough in half and run through largest setting again. Repeat once or twice more. Turn machine to next setting and pass through roller once.
• Continue passing dough through, lowering setting each time, until dough has run through the smallest setting (8 on KitchenAid attachment). Transfer to a tray generously dusted with semolina (or all-purpose) flour; dust top with more. Repeat process with remaining portions of dough.
• Attach a tagliatelle/fettuccine cutter to a pasta machine. Roll each sheet through cutter. Hang in a single layer on a pasta rack or transfer to a tray dusted with semolina and let dry, 30 minutes. (Pasta can be made up to 1 day ahead: Once dry, loosely twirl handfuls of pasta into 6 "nests," generously dust with more semolina, and refrigerate in a single layer in an airtight container.)
• Porcini Butter Sauce: Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Add oil, butter, and garlic. When butter melts and garlic sizzles, add mushrooms; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add pepper flakes and cook 30 seconds more.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente,2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain. Add 2/3 cup pasta water to skillet with mushrooms. Bring to a simmer. Add tagliatelle, tossing until sauce thickens slightly and evenly coats pasta, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Add parsley and half of cheese, tossing to combine. Add more pasta water as needed, a little at a time, until sauce evenly clings to pasta again. Serve topped with remaining cheese, pepper flakes, and a drizzle of oil.

CARBONARA-STYLE TAGLIATELLE WITH GRILLED ASPARAGUS AND LEMON-HERB BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly drizzle the asparagus with EVOO, then grill until charred, evenly marked and tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Cut into 1-inch pieces on an angle, or thinly slice if the asparagus is thick.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
• Heat 1 tablespoon EVOO in a small skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter into the oil; when it foams, stir in the lemon zest, then add the breadcrumbs and stir until moistened. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the breadcrumbs are deep golden. Stir in the chives and parsley and remove from the heat.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons EVOO in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and 2 teaspoons pepper, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 1 to 2 more minutes, then add the wine and reduce the heat to low.
• Lightly beat the egg yolks in a small bowl.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water just before draining the pasta, and beat it into the egg yolks to temper them.
• Add the asparagus to the pancetta mixture and heat through.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the asparagus and pancetta. Pour the egg mixture over the top, turn off the heat and toss for 1 minute, adding the cheese in the last few seconds. Divide the pasta among shallow bowls and top with lots of the lemon-herb breadcrumbs.

GARLIC BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted and dry, 10 to 12 minutes. While the bread toasts, place the olive oil and garlic in a sauté pan and set over low heat. Cook gently, allowing the garlic to infuse the oil.
• When the bread slices are toasted, place in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the crumbs to the garlic oil and stir gently until coated. Season to taste with salt and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the oil is absorbed. Remove the garlic cloves. The crumbs will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 weeks.

TAGLIATELLE WITH PROSCIUTTO AND BUTTER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat until frothy and golden, about 1 minute. Add half the prosciutto in one flat layer. Cook until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer cooked prosciutto to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining prosciutto, leaving it in the skillet, and remove skillet from heat.
• Season the boiling water lightly with salt. When the salt dissolves, add the tagliatelle and cook until toothsome and slightly undercooked, 2 to 4 minutes or according to package instructions.
• Just before your pasta is ready, return the skillet to the heat and warm over medium. Do not drain the pasta, but use a slotted pasta fork or tongs and transfer the cooked pasta directly to the skillet. Working quickly, add 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano and about 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water and swirl vigorously to emulsify, jostling the pan at the same time, and cook just until sauce is silky, about 1 minute.
• Divide the pasta among shallow bowls, sprinkle with pepper and remaining prosciutto and serve immediately, along with more Parmigiano-Reggiano if desired.

TAGLIATELLI WITH BREADCRUMBS, GARLIC AND BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Pasta: Makes 10 ounces dough.
• Combine sifted flour and semolina in a bowl with the salt; make a well in the center of mixture and add eggs and olive oil.
• With two fingers, mix in a circular pattern until all the flour is incorporated; avoid overmixing for a tender dough.
• Scrape dough from bowl onto a floured surface; knead gently until dough is smooth; form into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• May be frozen up to one month; thaw in refrigerator.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out into a 1/16" thick sheet; sprinkle top surface of dough with semolina to prevent sticking and gently roll dough up, jelly-roll fashion.
• Cut crosswise into 1/4" slices; dust the pieces again with semolina and shake loose into noodles; cover with a towel until ready to cook.
• Finish: Melt the butter in a skillet until it begins to turn brown; add garlic, sage, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper; toss to combine.
• Transfer to a jelly-roll pan and bake until golden brown, about 6 minutes, tossing halfway through; boil pasta in salted water to desired doneness, 2-3 minutes; drain.
• Toss pasta with olive oil, Parmesan, and 2 1/2 cups of the breadcrumbs; sprinkle remaining breadcrumbs on top.
