Discover a quick and surprisingly tasty dessert with this pasta recipe with breadcrumbs and sugar. This unpretentious dessert, with few ingredients, is ideal for moments when you want to indulge in something sweet but don’t have much time. The pasta with breadcrumbs can also be served with jam, adding a touch of flavor and personality to each serving.

Ingredients:
- 250 g rotini pasta (or any other type of pasta you prefer)
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 100 g sugar
- 50 g butter
- One teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)
- Fruit jam for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Start by boiling the pasta. Fill a large pot with water and add a teaspoon of salt. Let the water boil, then add the rotini pasta. Cook according to the package instructions, usually between 8 and 10 minutes, until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

2. Meanwhile, prepare the breadcrumbs. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is completely melted and starts to foam, add the breadcrumbs. Toast the breadcrumbs for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden and crispy. It is essential not to let them burn too much, as the bitter taste will affect the dessert.

3. After the pasta is cooked, drain it well and add it to the skillet with the toasted breadcrumbs. Gently toss to coat the pasta evenly with the crispy breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and mix again, allowing the sugar to melt slightly and combine with the breadcrumbs.

4. If you want to add a hint of flavor, sprinkle cinnamon over the pasta and mix to distribute evenly. This flavor note will transform the dessert, giving it a warm and comforting character.

5. Serve the pasta immediately, either on its own or with a spoonful of fruit jam on top. Raspberry or strawberry jam pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the sugar, but feel free to experiment with your favorite flavors.

Helpful tips:
- Use high-quality pasta for better taste. Whole grain pasta can add a healthy note and deeper flavor.
- If you want a less sweet version, reduce the amount of sugar or opt for jam without added sugar.
- This recipe is very versatile; you can add fresh fruits or chopped nuts for added texture and extra nutrients.

Enjoy this simple and delicious dessert that will remind you of childhood, in a modern version, but with the same authentic flavor. Pasta with breadcrumbs and sugar is not just a dessert, but a culinary experience worth exploring.
