Pasta and desert sun

If the family were a fruit, it would be an orange, a circle of sections, held together but separable - each segment distinct.  ~Letty Cottin Pogrebin

My mother has always been the most fabulous cook. She not only prepares beautiful foods in innovative ways that satisfy the appetite, but she also presents food in beautiful tableaus that satisfy the eye.  This weekend, she created this amazing lunch served on her patio. Coupled with the warm desert sun and good wine, it was a day to remember. Fettucini with caramelized onions, sundried tomatoes and goat cheese. Al dente. Al fresco. All'appetito!

Pasta Squared

Everything you see I owe to spaghetti.

What's the only thing better than a pasta? Two pastas! Side by side. Rossi Tomato Basil Garlic and Spinach Basil Garlic Fettucini smothered with Vodka Sauce and nestled side by side in a bowl. I love this stuff. We ration it so it lasts! It doesn't get faster or easier or better. Saving my energy for tomorrow's Irish Feast of Corned Beef and Cabbage. This year I am going to try cooking the brisket in my new Schlemmertopf. We'll see...! The Rossi link is in the February archive - Day 26!
