It sounds cooler than it really is. :|
Pasta di Sabbia is literally translated to Sandy Pasta.
What you need (The basics)
Medium Shell Pasta (har, it can be anything, but I like shells for this.)
Vegetable or Olive Oil
Italian-style Breadcrumbs
What I add usually:
Oregano
Salt
Black Pepper
Minced Onion
Chopped Garlic
Lemon Juice
Combine everything in a bowl. Serve.
No really, that's it.
I prepare the sauce on the side, which is obviously everything BUT the pasta, in whatever ratio I want. Now, I like mine thick and "sandy", but you may like it more oily...whatever. There is no right or wrong way to do this. once everything is ready just mix the sand into the shells until the pasta is evenly coated, and you're done.

That's it. I really like melting mozzarella into it, but we don't have any. :(
This started as a sidedish that my gramma would make, and my mom picked up. It's very rarely served as a main course, that is until you have a shitload of pasta in the house and no red sauce. It's also obviously not healthy.
It can be healthy if you do construction!
Sounds intriguing.

Or need to gain weight.
I should try this.
Maybe it's because we don't have any money, maybe it's because when I was living by myself I would sometimes buy the store brands of the Lipton pasta sides and eat them for dinner, but that actually sounds pretty good. Like you said, not really a main dish, but if I didn't have anyone else to cook for, I'd have it for dinner.
So, it's starch and... starch.
Sheesh, you should eat a lime so you don't get scurvy.

I threw lemon juice in there. We're fine. Really.
Sounds OK actually...
