Muddica atturrata

  • 2 slices of sourdough bread, frozen
  • 2 tbsp or so of parmesan
  • 2 tbsp of flat leaf parsley

Steps

Pasta

  1. Mix egg yolks and flour until combined and leave for 20 minutes to get to know eachother.
  2. After 20 minutes of hanging out and becoming best buds, knead the ever living fuck out of it for like 10 minutes, or until it resembles a cosy pillow you want to nap on.
  3. Wrap up and leave until you're ready to cook, at least 30 minutes.
  4. When you're ready to add to the sauce, roll it out and slice it however you like.

Muddica atturrata

  1. Grate the frozen bread into breadcrumbs
  2. Heat some oil up in a frying pan, drop a crumb in every now and then, when it sizzles all tasty-like, add the breadcrumbs in full force
  3. Toss and stir until golden brown then empty onto a cold plate to stop it cooking more
  4. When cooled, stir in some mega finely chopped parsley and grated parmesan

Crab linguine

  1. Finely slice the garlic and dice the red chilli into tiny lil baby pieces
  2. Heat oil in a pan and gently fry the garlic and chilli for a few minutes, don't let it brown or you'll ruin everything like an absolute failure
  3. Add brown crab meat, chuck in a splash of white wine if you fancy... I know you're smashing a bottle anyway
  4. Next add the lemon zest and butter
  5. When it's time, cook your pasta for a few minutes and then add to the crab mixture, if you didn't carry over some pasta water while you were doing that, spoon some in
  6. Stir the white crab meat through
  7. Serve in bowls topped with the toasted breadcrumbs

Tips

  • On flour: 00 is the standard but honestly plain flour works fine.
