METHOD
Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 8 minutes.Heat oil in a fry pan over a medium to high heat. Add garlic, and cook for 1 minute, add chopped sourdough and cook for 6-7 minutes constantly stirring so the garlic does not burn. Remove from heat and set aside.

Serve in bowls and top with garlic croutons and extra-virgin olive oil.
