Pasta for breakfast? Actor Stanley Tucci's pasta recipe is 'cheesy, charred goodness'

Cooking with Como: Stanley Tucci's viral Breakfast Pasta

Erin Como made Stanley Tucci's Breakfast Pasta for DIY Tuesday! LION Lunch Hour regular Ashley Darby got in the spirit with her no-bake protein bites.

BETHESDA - Actor Stanley Tucci shared a leftover pasta recipe that he enjoyed at 10 a.m. in a recent TikTok video. So FOX 5 decided to give it a try.

Tucci, in a recent TikTok video, cooked up some leftover farfalle pasta for a late breakfast meal.

"I sautéed garlic, onion, panchetta, and some peas, and then put them into a little casserole dish, baking dish, with the pasta and then Besciamella – Bechamel sauce – and mixed it all up with little things of butter on top and parmigiano," he said in the video.

On LION Lunch Hour Tuesday, Erin Como got into the cooking spirit – complete with a glass of red wine.

"Growing up I always called it leftover pasta, because it's basically whatever's left from dinner you kind of mix it together," said Como. "You can mix it in with whatever, get creative with whatever you have at home."
