Also saved from K.A. -- a nice alternative to plain ol' spaghetti -- we are using Panko now in many dishes -- makes lovely, light, crunchy coating. Thanks for saving me entering this recipe.

This recipe is fantastic! It has great taste and the bread crumbs give it a crunchy texture. I cut the olive oil significantly to make it healthier and served a smaller portion size.
