Here in Petrópolis, Brazil, we have 2 major colonies of settlers. One of Germanic people, the major one, and another of Italians who loved pasta, pizzas and it´s variations. Me, particularly, loves those Italian dishes, but i could mention that really those bread crumbs are not common here. I´d never seen those crumbs over the pastas here! And it´s a great coincidence that i´d baked today a Philippine recipe of bread here that carry on top some bread crumbs. This bread turns excellent in spite of it´s simplicity. The name of the bread is ´Pan de Sal `, and my baby son Renzo, loved the bread a lot!!! I think you could try this delicious bread in a future post! Anyway, i´ll test your pasta with cheese and top crumbs next time i have lunch here!! The bread crumbs add a very nice crunch and texture-I hope you will enjoy it. Joan D@bakershotline
