Instructions
- Cook pasta in boiling water per instructions. Drain pasta; refrigerate just until chilled.
- In a large bowl, combine garlic, Alfredo sauce and cheeses. Add Alaska Surimi Seafood and pasta; stir gently to coat well. Refrigerate.
- To make the crumbs: Preheat a convection oven to 350F. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until mixture is coarse and
- pea sized. Scatter the bread crumbs on a half sheet pan and bake for 7 to 8 minutes (stirring after 4 minutes) or until crunchy and lightly
- toasted. Cool thoroughly. Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container.
- To present the pasta: Place in a display bowl or deep platter and scatter with some of the crumbs.
- For consumer reheating: Microwave pasta until hot.
- Chefs note: For an easy substitution, crush herb croutons and use in place of the Crunchy Garlic Herb Bread Crumbs
