Fruit betties. E.g., https://food52.com/recipes/7721-brown-buttered-cinnamon-toast-autumn-fruit-betty
Or its inspiration: thinly sliced bread toasted, spread with a thin slick of Irish butter and topped with a light sprinkling of cinnamon sugar, aka Cinnamon Toast - a nursery treat I enjoy to this day!
We make all our own bread here, so we often have ends pieces, or half loaves that are a few days old. I slice those and then freeze for later use in French toast or savory bread puddings, or Rao's Meatballs (a Genius recipe) or Old School Swedish Meatballs https://food52.com/recipes/32535-old-school-swedish-meatballs .
And let's not forget garlic-fried crumbs--saute in butter or olive oil, your choice, plus whatever herbs strike you fancy (the latter, optional)--for sprinkling on vegetables and salads of any kind. A lifesaver in my kitchen in the dead of winter. ;o)

I used to make a pasta sauce, now lost in the mists of time, that was a puree of bread soaked in milk and almonds, which I think was a modern take on an ancient sauce made entirely from nuts- there were probably some other ingredients- salt, maybe black pepper and or nutmeg. Then there's the old plumber's trick- when soldering repairs on copper pipes, there's often a problem of loose water in the pipes getting into the area being soldered and wrecking the joint- stuff some bread into the pipe up from the joint, and solder, then turn on a faucet- the bread will dissolve and wash out of the system.

Not exactly your sauce, but see #4 spaghetti with bread crumbs in this article about 8 non-tomato pasta sauces.

Not the same, but I'm pretty sure it did include garlic- I'll have to look it up; I believe it was from Bugialli's first book, but most of my cookbooks are in storage now. Anyway, thanks for the link.
