5. Meanwhile, cook the bucatini pasta in salted boiling water until al dente.
6. Prepare the breadcrumb topping: toast breadcrumbs in olive oil until golden.

8. When the sauce is creamy and reduced, drain the pasta and toss it with the sauce.
9. Plate the pasta and finish with a generous sprinkle of the toasted breadcrumbs.
