From “The Geometry of Pasta,” by Caz Hildebrand & Jacob Kenedy (Quirk). The authors are divided on “whether it is too weird to love or just weird enough.” You decide. Serves 4-6.
Ingredients
1/2 pound spaghetti
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup superfine sugar
5 1/4 tablespoons butter
Directions
Rub the oil into the bread crumbs, then bake in a moderate oven until a rich golden brown. Mix with half the sugar. While your pasta cooks, take 6 tablespoons of its water and boil separately with the remaining sugar and the butter until emulsified and the texture of cream. Toss the drained pasta in this sauce, and serve with the sweet bread crumbs on top.
