Pangrattato, often referred to as “poor man's Parmesan,” is a versatile breadcrumb topping originating from Italian cuisine. Made by toasting stale bread with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and occasionally anchovies or chili, it is traditionally used to add crunch and flavor to pasta dishes, soups, and roasted vegetables. With its humble beginnings as a way to minimize food waste, pangrattato is rich in texture and savory taste. Nutrition-wise, it can be a healthy addition when prepared with whole-grain bread and heart-healthy olive oil. However, the calorie content can increase depending on the amount of oil and additional ingredients like cured anchovies. Perfect for adding depth without the need for cheese, pangrattato is a great option for those seeking an affordable, vegan-friendly alternative to traditional toppings. Its simplicity and resourceful origins make it a celebrated staple in rustic Italian cooking.
