This is such a simple idea but it really transforms a simple meal with little effort. We have used breadcrumbs toasted and non-toasted, but it really adds that extra oomph especially to a simple spaghetti recipe. I love lentil meatballs on my spaghetti, but sometimes I really don’t feel like taking the time to make them because of the time it takes to make them. This is an easy thing you can top your pasta or salad with that will give a nice little crunch and add some dimension to your meal.
