Pasta with bread crumbs

Pasta with bread crumbs? Wondering what that is? That is what you get when 2 recipes from different sources merge in my brain! One is by a famous cook and food stylist - Donna Hay and second recipe is from BBC Good Food magazine. And when these 2 asked for ingredients I did not have... Viola! A different new dish!




Pasta - 400gms
Olive oil - 3 tbsp + extra for garnish
Zucchini / cucumber  - 1 small 
Onion - 1 medium
Garlic - 4 cloves
Bread crumbs - 4 tbsp heaped
Rosemary / thyme - 1 tsp
Dried Mushroom - 5 no:s soaked in hot water and diced fine.
Salt 
Pepper

Cook pasta in plenty of salted water and drain well. Keep aside after coating with olive oil so that they don't stick.
Heat olive oil and add the cucumber / zucchini. Once it turns golden add the garlic. Sauté for a minute and remove the 
Vegetables using a slotted spoon.
Into the same oil add the onion and cook on low flame till transparent.
Add the bread crumbs , rosemary / thyme and fry till crispy.
Add the mushroom and continue cooking for 2 more minutes on low flame, mixing well.
Add the cucumber / zucchini , salt and pepper to this and keep aside till serving time.
Just before serving, reheat bread crumb mixture and add the pasta.
Heat till pasta becomes hot.
Serve immediately drizzled with more olive oil on top.
