Fettuccine with Marinated Tomatoes

 

I watched this recipe being made on a cooking show quite a while ago.

Unfortunately, I can't remember the woman's name whose recipe this is.

And of course, I never wrote down any exact quantities. *chuckle*

Everyone loves this though.

 

1 package fettuccine noodles (DeBoles makes rice fettuccini and Thai

Kitchen makes some stir-fry rice noodles that are about fettuccini size)

 

1 medium sized loaf of your favorite bread, crust removed

2 pints various cherry tomatoes, grape, yellow, green or red

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

salt

pepper

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. While noodles are cooking according to

package directions, take a medium sized mixing bowl and whisk together

the oil and vinegar. Add the minced garlic. Slice the cherry tomatoes

in half and add them to the oil and vinegar mixture. By the time all

the tomatoes are sliced and added, the oil and vinegar mixture should

just cover the tomatoes. If they don't whisk some more oil and vinegar

in a separate bowl (double the amount of oil as vinegar) and add. Add

salt and pepper to the mixture, stir gently.

 

Take your favorite bread and place it in a food processor to make

breadcrumbs. They don't need to be super-small. Place the bread crumbs

you make on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle the bread crumbs with olive oil,

then salt and pepper. Bake in the oven until golden brown,

approximately 10 minutes.

 

The noodles should be done and in a serving bowl. Add marinated

tomatoes and toss gently. Before serving put the toasted bread crumbs

on top of the dish - do not mix in, they'll get soggy very quickly. You

can reserve some of the breadcrumbs to serve in a separate bowl.
