6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) pepper

In bowl, combine bread crumbs, 1/4 cup (50 mL) water and vinegar. Let stand for

Using mortar and pestle, pound together bread mixture, garlic, salt and pepper until in a paste. A few drops at a time, add oil, stirring constantly until oil starts to emulsify. Add remaining oil in a thin steady stream, stirring constantly until the consistency of mayonnaise. Stir in parsley.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender but firm.

Pour in sauce; stir until heated through, adding some of the reserved cooking liquid if desired to thin sauce.
